Hi All,
I've just been reading this thread and hope it's ok that I post a slightly off-topic question ... I'm underways with cleaning the chain on my touring bike - which has been paused for a year or so - and notice that it is as if the dirt (that is there) & the oil used has somewhat "dried" onto the chain & chainring & cassette. Reading in the thread I wonder if this could be a consequence of the oil I've used - or is it quite normal when the bike has not been used for some time?
Thanks for any insights you may have
Jesper
A P.S. to staehpj1 or all: Might you have a tip for a grease for the bearings that make them last long? - environmentally friendly would be preferred
