How long do they last you without cleaning?
Please explain because the frugal cyclist in me is unable to grasp doing what I think you do?
All my bikes, with the exception of one, are 6 speeds. This is CV forum right? Universal cycles, eBay whatever, Shimano freewheel less then 15 bucks. Usually 3 to 5 years on a bike I ride regularly. Time is way more important then money, and any time I can avoid working with solvents, I will. All the guys I knew, that worked with solvents on a regular basis, are dead.
