genral chain question
Ok folks I tried the paddock stand I picked up at the nec yesterday. First thing is. Jesus its but of a faff getting those cups under the chain, on the swing arm, etc when its on a slope and your holding the bile up as well. I ended up getting the missus to help but I cant see how you could do it on your own. Any advice please? And yea I can see how getting bobbins would be easier but it would require more ££ (which I don’t have)
So I started on the chain and WOW soooo much easier. And I got soo much crap off the chain it was unreal. Now it gave me the opportunity to rotate the rear wheel (instead of moving it up and down the path) and it sounded a little gritty in the chain. After a bit it seemed to be coming from a block of plastic on the front of the swing arm that the chain slides on. Should this be cleaned whenever I do the chain? If not is it ok? I gave the back wheel a good old shake and it doesn’t seem to be that either. Maybe its just chain noise? Not sure so any advice is welcomed.
Ok finally I managed to get a mixture of paraffin and chain wax everywhere. Not only on the clothes I was wearing but also on (and not limited to) light switches, upvc doors and windows the flags outback and the rear tyre. Any ideas on how to get it off? (especially the doors)
