That chain cleaning technique can't be for real is it!? I dig the haz mat look to it all! The only thing the bike mechanic in the picture forgot was to use a geiger counter to make sure there was no radiaiton present!

Im glad I wasnt the only one thinking along the same lines. Thats like one whole resto situation gone mad. Unless I had some kind of chain made out of titanium that cost me a fortune I just could not go through with it.

Wheres Ted Carl he must know where to get all of em for like 5 bucks lol.

Have to agree with TGTIW , that $69.95 kit is crap !!
I want to spend $249.95 on the Sram Deluxe Kit & waste my precious time manually removing , cleaning & refurbishing my fixed wheel chains & getting cancer at the same time. Great specs on their cleaning products too.

I gotta have this solid granite bike seat...

Hollow ball bearings , these guys are idiots !!!

You use sodium filled ball bearings for better heat dissapaition.

When you are born with 6 fingers you can afford to lose one or 2 , scroll down to the bottom of the page.

The sheldonbrown site is maintained by 2 guys who's parents were brother & sister , from a long line of moonshine makers & runners.
They still eat asbestos sandwich's with dried lead paint sprinkles on them (lead paint tastes sweet) & wash it all down with the 'shine or the other commercial products they brew up at home for sale that didn't quiet come out right.They reside in a unventilated meth lab full of home modified automatic cut down AK 47's with reverse pistol grips on them.

Rock farming inbred militia...

I thought I had a dark sense of humor , these guys have waaay too much time on their hands to be posting this mix of half truths & utter ****e.
