Does anything dissolve paint thinner

I recall from this forum 10-15 ago that it wasn’t hard to demonstrate that the important dirt about chains is inside not on the chains; and the bad news is that it was difficult or futile to rinse or flush all the wear-causing abrasive grit from plain-bearing surfaces. Which is why some of us lubricate chains with paraffin-oil mixes applied hot. The wax rejects most of the road grit. Chains stay far cleaner, last longer and by some tests, are more efficient. -- - Frank Krygowski |

The only negative I can see is that it dulls the finish on wheels, so you always have to pull the chain to clean it. Easy enough with quick links. |
