Default Re: Bodmin prep, rear wheel?

I'm sure there will be calls of "Erm don't think so" but its all a much of a muchness, the ones that say O-ring safe are just that, and the ones that don't weren't designed to destroy O-rings, its just the ones with O-ring safe are a little easier on the tiny rubber ba**ards, but don't worry too much chain lube is chain lube!

I clean my chain with Paraffin and a rag. Cheap as chips, damages nothing and cleans most things off of most things. Much sustainability

XCA +1 credit MarkH for sustainable chain cleaning solution.

WD40/Meths both more expensive than Paraffin so considerably less sustainable.

Than wd40-Yes
Than sprayed WD40 - No

However spontaneous chain combustion is not a common problem
