New chain cleaning method
« on: 01 July, 2009, 09:28:35 am »
Take one old heavily used Rholoff Speedhub and allow oil seal to wear out :(
Change oil in Speedhub.
Ride bike.  Observe oil sprayed all over drive side and completely black chain :o
Wipe oil off rim and spokes with paper kitchen towel.
Fold paper towel to make thick pad.
Hold around chain. Turn crank a few times to pull chain past towel.
Result beautifully clean oiled chain. ;D
