Hey ... PSA time folks. Bicycling is fun, and healthier than couch surfing, but it has some risks. Elliptical Machines are safer, just saying. And that is without the significant risk to health caused by @%#$% around with solvents on a regular basis! Let the damn chain wear out. Or rust. Or whatever it is neglected chains do. Seriously. What does a decent chain cost? Less than $20 certainly. Yearly (at least) chain replacement? What a concept. I'm hanged if I can actually cite an example of a chain I've needed to replace sooner than yearly (and I ride every day) because I do not engage in weekly chain cleaning and maintenance. I squirt some Chain-L or White Lightning or other liquid chain lube monthly, or whenever I remember (and can find the bottle) and I call it good. I mean, I could still come down with a nasty case of incurable Liver Cancer in 10 years, but I at least won't have to wonder if I might have lived to 100 if I hadn't spent so much time huffing Naptha fumes.
