What a huge difference it makes when cleaning a chain !!!

Ok ok, i know most peeps dont have access to one, i'm lucky working in an engineering workshop...so while having to work today (saturday), i thought i might as well cean the bike and get paid doing it as well.

Chain off, spray with WD40 and wipe with rag. Then do it again....then laid chain on a surface and blast at close range with an airline.

See the grime just blast out :biggrin:.

Spray again with WD, wipe with rag.....it took me literally 5 minutes to get the chain looking like new again ;)

So, if you've got one, or know a friend who has.......
 
Wow! Er, would a small home use compressor do it?

Wouldnt see why not, most compressors....home or industrial chuck out the same pressure, its just the volume thats different.
You want a pistol type airgun prefferably, something with a smal nozzle to focus the air.
