I use the chain wax... warm up the chain first before applying it, let it cool down and you're good to go. I have almost zero fling.

Well, I kinda meant the o-rings in the chain. Yeah, I'm still asleep and havent' had enough coffee yet. He's not cleaning the chain - just smack me.

kerosene is tame enough to not damage the the inner working of the chain... NEVER USE GASOLINE!!! That'll do one thing, and one thing only - (setting up a nice visual here folks)... Imagine riding your favorite twistys, newly fresh gasoline-cleaned chain... deteriorating as you round the next sharp curve, steady throttle... straight-away, crack the throttle, chain breaks, locks up your rear wheel... sends you hurtling into whatever direction you hadn't asked to be thrown towards... and,
Well, there you go. Don't use gasoline to clean your chain. It'll hurt it, and it'll hurt you.

I prefer using diesel (its very close to kerosene) for chain cleaning with a toothbrush. For chain "lube" I buy spray Teflon in a can. Completely clear, dries fast, and doesn't attract dust/dirt/grime to the chain and immediately make it dirty. Bought my last can of it at Lowes.

They didnt have my latemodel powdercoated wheels in FRICKEN WHITE back in the day apparently..............LOL
Either that or they intended on you cleaning more than riding so you would never need service while in the 3yr guarantee period????

I use Mineral Spirits for the first cleaning of rear wheel after lubing the chain, works great! Then I just use Simple Green for all the cleanings after that until I lube the chain again.

Simple green mixed with denatured alcohol works really well for removing any greese, chain lube or wax from your frame and wheels....The mix does not discolor wheels or plastics and its sensative to wires.

91...Does the Mineral Spirits leave a "whittish" or "ashy" haze after you use it...?
