Wow! kinda makes me feel like a "cheap skate" haha.

 

i would have to becomea meth addict to take on that project

 

God, I wonder how long it takes one of these guys to wipe his bum or order a meal?
"The only correct way to lubricate an internal combustion engine is to totally disassemble it!"
I've seen some pretty **** things in my time, but this sets new standards in the "Complete waste of the human experience" category.

 

Rear bike stand and rag are all I use. With bike in neutral, just spin the wheel and wipe. Re-lube and ride...sorry, I'm too lazy...

 

Get a girlfriend with long legs, a squirt bottle with mineral spirits, a three headed brush, and you are golden.

Have the long legged girl walk the bike slowly, you hose down the chain and scrub lightly until it is clean or you run out of mineral spirits.

Spray with chain wax.

edit: I cleaned my kitchen using their method, I have sub-contractors coming in to help with the re-assembly next week.

 

I use a ketten max to clean and lube my chain. Works great.

i thought they were being serious there for a minute, i was hopein somebody wasn't that dumb till i got to the bottom, but either way if you that worried about the chain buy a new one

yeah i didn't think so, but it did take me a time or two to realize
