Default chain cleaning

right, just been out to clean off the wax thats been on my chain (cos i hate the stuff so much now - im gonna switch to using engine oil)

every time ive done this in the past - ive used WD40 (about half a can)

this time i used parafin. (as it suggests in my manual)

i couldnt believe how easy it was, the wax just turns to a liquid on contact with it and comes straight off, then i went on to cleaning it off my wheels,

whole job took me 5 mins tops (compared to about 20 mins using wd40 and a brush) rust came straight off too.

and for the price of the parafin (i paid about 1 pound for a litre) its well worth using over WD40.


only trouble is - is it can harm your 0-rings if left on for too long, so make sure you rinse off with lots of water.


one happy bunny
