Default umm grease....

anyone have an idea on how to keep the chain grease/oil from splattering all over the rear rim? it seems like every time i ride i have to scrub the rear wheel like crazy to get the grease off. i use spectr-o o-ring chain lube. does anyone else have this problem? what cleaners would you guys recommend?

Ahhh the joys of cleaning the rear rim. LOL that is why i will never own chome rims or light colored rims. What a pain in the ***. wd40 does work. havent tried simple green yet.

Motorex Racing chain lube has very little fling.

Tac-2 is also good, but needs to be applied more often. No mater what you are always goign to be cleaning the back rim. I clean the rim & Chain with kero every 2 weeks and get good results from that.

I use Chain Wax and there is very little fling as well. But I agree, WD40 cleans the crap off the wheels nicely.
