Where do I buy it ? I have looked but without success
Alternatively, use Swarfega(sp?) or similar hand cleaner, without grit/beads. I've used this for years with great success and no damage to rubber or rims.
Tyre fitting places ( except kwik fit ) will fill a large coffee jar with the stuff if you ask nicely and proffer beer tokens/real beer. Well, they do for me anyway.
On Sat, 12 Feb 2005 14:02:59 -0000, "Dave Emerson" I must be missing a trick here. What's wrong with washing up liquid? I've [1] been using it for two years on the race bike. [1] And most of the paddock at DP meetings.
Washing-up liquid contains a high proportion of salt and attacks alloy. Less of a problem for a race bike when you're changing tyres every weekend but on a road bike the tyre will bond to the rim or the rim will erupt with a crust that leaks air - *nasty*
But "WD40 attacks rubber - that's why you must never use it on a chain as it will destroy your O-rings".
It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the Some has salt in it as a thickener. Not good for rims. -- Dave GS 850 x2 / SE 6a SbS#6 DIAABTCOD#16 APOSTLE#6 FUB#3 FUB KotL OSOS#12? UKRMMA#19 COSOC#10
It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Preston Kemp" I just use a bar of soap, well wetted and lathered and slid all over the bead. Works well and keeps my hands fairly clean at the same time. -- Dave GS 850 x2 / SE 6a SbS#6 DIAABTCOD#16 APOSTLE#6 FUB#3 FUB KotL OSOS#12? UKRMMA#19 COSOC#10
I don't have O-rings on my KTM as the sand gets in them and fucks the chain up. I use engine oil and put it on very frequently. As for my chain......
Put your lovely mix in an old sweetie tin; put in the chain and pop the lot on the cooker. Mmmm lovely. Incidentaly my Mum went absolutely spastic when I did that on her new halogen cooker.
It would appear so. I got my own back by deliberately failing my O levels and dashing her petty bourgeois dreams of me becoming a 'professional'. HAH!
sweller says... I have an extremely intelligent friend who left school without taking any exams at all[1], with the sole intention of becoming a drug addict so he could later write a book about his experiences. He did the whole drugs thing with more enthusiasm than anything he'd previously undertaken. After years of rehab and detox he's now a librarian. [1] When I say intelligent I mean he could count and spell and everything, which was a major achievment for a lad from our village[2]. [2] Awaits abuse from Tuppy.
