Bad advise Joe ?, I said drop the wheel and soak the chain, that is the
right way , sure there are lots of safer solvents, but you use alot and
gas is cheap. Harmfull to what the chain? no. Harmfull to other parts .
I havn`t had a problem, can you be specific, not generalise. You say to
clean chain on. Well I will tell you why this is the best way, Ive
tried it on, then unhappy soaked it, the crud removed my " Clean " chain
was amasing.
Tell ya what Joe , Next time you clean a chain clean it your way ,
When your done cleaning soak it in a clean solvent of you choise, Only
then will you understand . The easiest way to keep from replacing
expensive chains is extensive cleaning.
