All knowledgeable cyclists know that THE most important thing in
cycling is proper chain cleaning and maintenance...yet, most cyclists
neglect this essential task, or use slapdash lazy techniques that are
letter better than pure neglect.
Mostly this is due to ignorance. Few cyclists are aware that there is
really only ONE RIGHT WAY to care for your all-important chain.
Now, the bicycle scientists of ShelBroCo have codified the PROPER
METHOD and offer a complete kit, the:
*********ShelBroCo Bicycle Chain Cleaning
System.**********

Now you have not excuse for skimping on this most vital aspect of
cycling!

In NM you can get by with a dehydrator.
Which can pretty much be an old screen door
lain across two garbage cans out in the back
yard, or somewhere in the back 40.
In more pluvial climes, a convection oven
does the trick, 'cuz the fan blows all the
fumes out. And then you can cook your
twice-baked potatoes without worrying about
them tasting like a bicycle chain. And it's
"greener" to use a little convection oven for
little stuff, instead of a big, honkin'
stove/hob oven.
Back in the early '60s my folks got bit by the lapidary
bug, and became Rock Hounds (pity me.) As a consequence,
my dad built a rock tumbler[*] that consisted of a cannister
loosely rolling atop two old washing machine wringers,
one of which was driven by a 1/4-horse electric furnace
motor. I guess a rig like that could make a bicycle chain
look pretty shiny.

How much do they charge for the subsequent tall, cool
swig of water & slice of bread? $20.oo?
You've given me an idea. Create-a-ket works!
cheers,
Tom
[*] that was after he built an arc welder out of an
old power pole transformer. I think he got the
plans from a Popular Science or Popular Mechanics.
If today's society is horrifically screwed up, I
think it has much to do with those rags.
Unix Review probably didn't help much, either.
Except maybe for Stan Kelley-Bootle's column.

Nice, that's pretty much the process I use, but with simpler cleaning
fluids -- so I've ordered a gross of your kit.
But I've been concerned about lint off the cotton swabs.
Is there any substitute for cotton swabs that might produce less lint?
Or has your crack team considered some sort of de-linting protocol?

*Clean* a chain ?????????!!!?!?!?!???!?
I get my bikes serviced at the LBS every 500 miles, and they always
replace the chain, tyres and brake blocks. My FasterCard[1] takes care
of the costs.
Brake/gear cables, derailleurs and the like only get replaced every 2000
miles. [2]
However my Real Man Saddle [3] shows no sign of wear.

[2] LBS say its due to the lack of a "pre tested ket for oiks".

Dear Wayne,
Oven bake? Good lord, everyone in the south-west knows that crude
oven-baking ruins the delicate flavor of a freshly cleaned chain!
An oven may work for you and Sheldon in damp places like
Massachusetts, but anyone who cares about chains in an arid climate
will pop them into one of these propane-fired tumblers for drying and
finishing:

Let alone using a COTTON swab for cleaning these precious parts!!
Can you imagine what hydrogen and organic acids, present in this BIO
material will induce as massive corrosion and crack formation!!
Prior to ultrasonic cleaning (100 +/- 0.314 kHz) cleaning should me
done with very soft swabs made of PE fibre not thicker than 1 micron!
Still a lot to learn Sheldon.
I really hope he updates his website with this precious information
VERY VERY SOON
As this knowledge will raise cycling fundamentals globally I don't dare
to ask any compensation for it.
Wonder if here, the Netherlands, on the eastern hemisphere possibly
opposite isomers for some of these hi-spec lubricants should be used.

While that method will clean and lubricate the rollers and plate holes,
you completely ignored the necessity of cleaning and waxing both sides
of every plate.

Yeah it's way more expensive than a new chain, but you need to clean a
new chain as well just to get rid of that anti rust / lubricant stuff
they put on new chains.
