I've been cleaning my chains in Simple Green for years and have noticed that when I first put the chain in the Simple Green there's lots of activity happening at the surface. There are no visible bubbles appearing, but the film of lubricant dances around on the surface of the Simple Green. I've often wondered what causes this. Anyone? jeverett3ATearthlinkDOTnet http://home.earthlink.net/~jeverett3 |

I'm new to the group; been lurking for a while - thought I'd toss in my 2-cents on this one. I recently bought a small ultrasonic cleaner (for jewelry). Its intended for water, but I use mineral spirits in it to clean bicycle parts. It does an excellent job, especially on chains and freewheels. These are amazing, perfect for bike chains. I don't understand why they're not common in bike shops. I wish I still had mine. Matt O. |

This is also known as stress cracking corrosion." more evidence that the "little knowledge is a dangerous thing" crowd are /way/ over-represented in cycling "tech" - stress corrosion & hydrogen embrittlement are two /very/ different things. [for the record, that probably /is/ stress corrosion. for thin section like this, the rate of hydrogen diffusion is so high, it's almost certainly not the issue.] |
