Subject: chain cleaning


Hi,

1.) Use a scott-oiler, you'll an always clean chain and a double chain
life, but your bike looks like [yuck]. ;-)

2.) Clean the chain with gasoline (Diesel), the fuel for truck engines. It
cleans all oil dust mixtures and is not agressive to the O-rings. Use an
old tooth brush and a little glass with gasoline and the chain will be
fine.

take care - Marcello.
