A good way to clean your chain and keep yourself clean.

Clayton I will start a fund so we can get you one, but the catch is you have to use it nce a week to both clean and lube your chains! (Both Bikes!)

Hell, for $42.79 US (as current exchange rates) I'd buy it!!!!

That would free up at LEAST half an hour of Nazi chain cleaning and lubing a day!

After the gap I may hafta get one of dem things.....

I'll be ordering one when we get back as well!

I have something just like that. I think it's been under the seat in my truck for two years now.

i would imagine, the cleaning brushes would be pretty much useless after a few times (due to them being covered with hard to remove grime)

You would have to clean out the grime in the gadget once in a while too! But I am sure replacement bristles would be needed every so often when they wear down or fray..

looks like a lot of work to me, I'll stick with my scottoiler and paying my dealer to clean my bike during service interval

How bad is it to clean my chain with rags, kerosene and a chip brush?

I have been doing that, taking it out for a whip to blow off the kerosense, then finishing with maxima wax.

Will kerosene eat the o-rings?

I have read the manual, so long ago that I forgot that

But I do remember it said to use basic engine oil to lube the chain

Now that I think of it, it was WD-40 that I heard was bad for the o-rings...?
