  • Not riding enough to tell. I'm also still learning the cleaning process so my first couple of chains probably aren't the best. I did flat the SS the other day and after dumping the chain in the dirt and handling it to stick it back on I was happy with how little residue was left on my fingers. If that was the same chain a week earlier I'd have been covered in oil. So, for the carpet in here it's probably going to be great, which was half the goal.

    Main bit I'm interested in. Cleaning bikes makes me want to die. I think I'll pester my friends and see if we can split an ultrasonic cleaner and slow cooker

  • see if we can split an ultrasonic cleaner and slow cooker

    Surely they will then be guaranteed to leak?

  • I got LBS to clean first two chains. You could also do the 'container shake' if you didn't want to shell out for a US cleaner. Slow cooker was £15 from Robert Dyas so probably the cheapest part of this equation.
