All knowledgeable cyclists know that THE most important thing in
cycling is proper chain cleaning and maintenance...yet, most cyclists neglect this essential task, or use slapdash lazy techniques that are letter better than pure neglect. Mostly this is due to ignorance. Few cyclists are aware that there is really only ONE RIGHT WAY to care for your all-important chain. Now, the bicycle scientists of ShelBroCo have codified the PROPER METHOD and offer a complete kit, the: *********ShelBroCo Bicycle Chain Cleaning System.********** http://sheldonbrown.com/chainclean Now you have not excuse for skimping on this most vital aspect of cycling!

http://sheldonbrown.com/chainclean Sheldon, thanks for this new product. It fills a much-needed gap in the bicycle maintenance market, and I'm sure it will be a great success for you. I'll certainly be ordering my deluxe kit first thing Monday. Can you recommend a supplier for the requisite safety gear? I've got some of this stuff at home, but I'll be needing the suit and some heavy duty gloves. Also, should I get some steel-capped boots, or will ordinary leather shoes do? You can't put too high a price on safety. -- John Guinness is a food. I remember reading somewhere that there is sufficient nutrients to live on in 12 pints of Guinness and a pint of milk every day. But who could drink a whole pint of milk? -- Tim D on fatcyclist.com |
