BTW, off topic but how is your son? Someone mentioned he hurt his leg at the last race.

I have always used Simple green for cleaning and degreasing my chain, by just today my LBS owner turned me on to white lightning metal prep for after you degrease (it takes off the degreaser and burns through everything and anything you can throw on your chain. Looks and runs smoother and quieter then when it was brand new and untouched. White lightning is all I will use now.
