... Any suggestions on solvents for cleaning the drivetrain, and where to buy them? On the flip side... Other than expensive bike store lubricant, what do people use for oiling their chain? Motorcycle chain oil? Looking from the perspective of a comuter bike - not a racing bike. So it is ridden in the rain with lots of crap going onto the drive train without necessarily very regular cleaning or oiling ;-) Tim |

. au... Other than expensive bike store lubricant, what do people use for oiling their chain? Motorcycle chain oil? This is IMHO by far the best stuff to use. It foams when it comes out of the can, to penetrate in under the rollers, and is a decent weight, so it stays there. I use motorcycle chain oil on all my bikes (racing and commuting). Failing that, ordinary motor oil is good too. Just don't use wax or white lightning, as its build up is _really_ hard to remove. Regards, Suzy |

I use Singer light machine oil on mine, and it seems to work OK, but I've never used anything else. so I can't compare it with anything...

There is another theory which states that this has already happened. -- Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" |
