SAND!
So we rode down along the beach the other day, which we do a lot. It's
not normally a problem because we stay on the paved bike path which is generally sand-free. But it was REALLY windy (uncharacteristically so) when we got there. Now my brand new chain, rear derailleur, and freshly cleaned (but older) cassette and rings are lightly coated with sand. What to do? Any good tricks/methods for getting sand off? Brute force? (i.e. full degrease, wash, and re-grease). Don't really want to degrease a brand new chain and derailleur. :-( TIA, -KC |
