    IF you are going to do this at least put your chain in the smallest cog as far away from the brakes as possible, it would be better to spray the Chainring, or take the chain off better yet. Spraying that could get degreaser on the brake pads or some of the lube from the chain...

    Classic: How To Ruin Your Bike 101...Never spray or apply any type of degreaser or solvent directly on your bike. Why? Because it dribbles off your cassette and into your free-body bearings, rear hub bearings, also off your front chain rings down the spider and into your bottom bracket bearings. Solvents and degreasers have a very high capillary action and will easily go thru any bearing seal. When that happens it will wash away the tiny film of grease between the ball bearings and the raises causing them to ride metal to metal. In no time your rear hub and BB will be making loud noises and rust will start to develop inside the sealed bearings. I see this all the time at my shop where riders get their brand new high end bikes and see ads like this wanting to keep their bike clean, and in less then 2 months their new bikes have over $200 ~ $400 usd dollars of bearing damage. If they are Ceramic double or triple the price!!! I'm sure the WD-40 products work well, but you need to remove the cassette, chain & C-rings off your bike and then clean them to your heart's content.

    • @AliZurix
      @AliZurix Рік тому +1

      If your bearings are getting destroyed because drops of degreaser are dropping from the cassette, then you have a different problem to care about. Your seals are terrible. I know so many riders who have been degreasing for over a year with no problem!

    • @Spyduck
      @Spyduck 7 років тому

      You must not let degreasers touch your brake pads. The oils/solvents in them can seep into the pads and ruin them. Once you let them come into contact, those pads are good as replaced. So don't.

    b. Dish soap in bucket of water?
    c. Simply Green diluted in water?

    • @danielbrown2379
      @danielbrown2379 5 років тому +2

      so you're saying getting brake cleaner on your brakes makes them dirty? Degreaser is not harmful to your brakes. Grease is the culprit. That's why if you touch your rotors with your hands and get grease on them it's a good idea to clean them off with some brake cleaner/degreaser. A little overspray of degreaser shouldn't cause any harm. What you don't want is any chain lube getting on your brake components. That can ruin rotors and pads.

      No, I‘m not saying brake cleaner makes the brakes dirty, but spraying brake cleaner on your dirty chain will throw some dirt from your chain onto your discs, since there‘s a lot of pressure in those cans.
      All I‘m saying is, be careful, don‘t waste time and cover up your discs with something.
      Doesn‘t take too much time and is worth it.

      Yes, you can. Just spray it on, let it sit for about 10 minutes, then wrap a towel around the chain on the bottom and rotate the cranks backwards like she did. You can also pinch the pulleys with the towel to help wipe off the excess WD40 so it won't collect as much grime.

    First of all, the bicycle chain should be rinsed out in petrol and then hanged on the hook and in the top place a few drops of oil so that over the night dripping filled all the connections from top to bottom. And this is the right therapy, not some WD40 shit advertising. The mechanics are a little please to learn.

      Best Day Ever #Spongebob Square pants
      When I'm using anything is spray or foam ( that goes on the chain ) I use a cardboard as a shield. Use a big old shipping box. Now cut a small whole on it so it can go between the wheel and the disc rotor and will fit just snug enough on the wheel hub. And now when you spray you will be amazed how much that thing catches.
      But your question was a bit hard to understand. So if you want maybe try to explain it to me a bit better. But all an all if it's a small and simple problem most of the time the solution is simple as well.

    This is a terrible way to main the drivetrain. She got the cleaner all over the bike's rim and tires. And for many people this could cause the brakes to squeal if they are using caliper brakes. Ms. McFadden's bike has disc brakes. This product could be profitably used in a Park chain cleaning tool rather than spraying higglety pigglety all over the place. THEN . . . if a proper chain lubricant is used, then (assuming road use) it wouldn't be necessary to clean the chain for a LONG time.
    Of course the best way to clean the drivetrain is to remove the dirty components from the bike. It's not difficult and the results are worth the extra time.

    My apologies for being so negative, but applying WD 40 directly on the chain and cassette while attached to the bike is to perfect method to ruin your freebody and hub bearings. I can assure anyone that if you follow these directions/cleaning advise in about a month your hub and free wheel will be making all kinds of crunching and nasty noises, that will need a lot of expensive bearing repair, and possibly a new cassette free body.
    DON'T FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS! If you do, remove the chain, and cassette cogs off your bike and wheel and then spray them with WD 40 and then clean them.
