As I was using the degreaser I started thinking that maybe the product is spaying degreaser in to my rear hub. So I used the product as minimally as possible.
Anyone have experience with this product? Need I worry about using it on my cassette with the cassette mounted on my wheel?
Thank you.
Unless you spray it directly at the hub seals I wouldn't worry all that much. I'd be more worried about spraying the brake surface (rim or disc).
I usually put a rag behind the cassette when I spray degreaser on it.
The best way to clean a cassette is to disassemble it though. I do that twice a year.
