Chain cleaning Gadget!!!


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 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..

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...?
