chain cleaner

LckyTylr · 08-17-2010, 10:19 PM

Anybody have a good system to clean your chain without removing rear wheel on street bike? Mine is FILTHY and I don't have a rear stand.

Go get a rear stand from harbor freight, they have 2 models that work well enough for cleaning the chain and oil changes. like $40-45 or something.

Clean 6-8" of chain, roll bike forward, repeat....

It's not good, but it's a system...

I use a stand to get the rear wheel off the ground and then a rag and kerosene to clean the chain.

360 cleaner comes with a coiled brush that fits over the chain, or you can borrow mine.

I'm surprised the bike could do that much damage just from the force going to the chain while idling...

Damn.
