used my chain cleaner tool this weekend with citrus de-greaser. funny how little fluid they hold. saw a utube vid where the guy suggested 100 rotations of the crank. I did 50, changed the fluid and did 50 more. also used a few other things then rinsed with a gentle hose and air dried in the hot sun and re-lubed generously and wiped the excess. was good to use a bike stand for a change. I think it made the job easier but then I had to wipe down the bike stand before putting it away. I also got the grass kinda greasy, ratz. at least I did it away from where we usually tread.

a big +1 to the BF member that shared taping 2 toothbrushes together facing each other! that was especially useful on the rollers and front chain rings!
