cleaning fun...(not)
"gravelmuncher" wrote in message
... You see, I've just bought a new Trek 1400 and i'm absolutely terrified that i'll do something to hurt it. I've also heard that it's best to clean the chain on the bike, as breaking the chain only shortens the lifespan of that particular link(???) kinda makes sense really. SRAM make neat little master links that you can open without tools. Their chains are much better than the Shimano/Campy equivalents in terms of useability. Although, the same person says not to run a hose over the bike so as not to get water in bearings - but what about rain? and how the hell are you to get the damn soap off?! So now my pride and joy is getting dirtier and i'm still scared i'm gonna stuff something. I did buy some kerosene to degrease it though...guess now i just need to figure the best way to go about it. Don't worry - you'll scratch it soon, and then you'll be able to enjoy it that much better. Regards, Suzy |
