Wild GT 85 questions?

[Milzy]

Do you use engine de greaser to clean the brake zone of your rims? Mine were a bit slippy a bit back.

 

[Dusty Bin]

Yes

I would strongly urge you to do the following:

1) Take your bike to the top of the steepest hill in your vicinity - ideally one with a busy junction at the bottom
2) Coat the braking surfaces of your rims liberally with GT85
3) Begin pedalling down the hill

If you survive, come back to the forum and explain what you have learned.

You seriously think I spray GT85 on my rims and then immediately go out for a ride without wiping it down first Black and Yellow?

Christ - how much oil did you use?

I'm still on a 250ml bottle of dry chain lube and 3-in-1 (for mickling) in over a year.

Yeah but you hardly ride your bike. Some of us do actually ride a lot of miles so expensive rubbish bike so called "lubes" are out. I use chain saw oil which is far cheaper and actually stays on the chain for a long time so it doesn't feel as if you are cleaning and re-lubing the whole time.

7000 miles a year

7000 miles a year

Not as low as I thought but could be more.

Could always be more

Enough backbiting or thread bans will be order of the day.

 

[tribanjules]

got GT85 at local aldi recently for £1.40

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

My eyes are bleeding.

My eyes are bleeding.

Nothing that a blitz with GT85 won't sort!

 

[slowmotion]

I spray GT85 into the pivots of my rear mech, taking care not to get it anywhere else.
Am I a very bad person?

 

[Cyclopathic]

You sure about that

For what is worth I use GT85 to clean most components

I'm a tight wad so I use paraffin to clean things and save the GT for best.

Is that a serious question? You want to know why you shouldn't spray GT85 onto your wheel rims?

I would. In fact I sprayed it on my rims before I went for a ride today. Didn't affect my braking one bit......

Presumably you have disk brakes. Either that, or you are suicidal...
