Ohhh thats how you Like a posting in forum ... thumbup.gif
Just wanna ask ....about bike cleaning ...
Each time after cleaning your bike do you degrease and relube your chains ? Or relube enough?
I just learned that you can use WD40 (which is cheaper) to degrease ...rather than use a more expansive Degreaser ..ie Finish Line stuffs ....

After every off road ride, here's what I usually do. Degrease the chain and gear with a degreaser (I use a citrus-based degreaser, any brand should do), coat my chain with a thin layer of WD-40 to displace any moisture, rinse the chain thoroughly with soap, lubricate the chain (I use Finish Line's Dry Lube). As for my forks and rear shocks, I lubricate my fork stanchions with silicone spray (don't use normal lube as it may crack your rubber seals!). Just my 2 cents! biggrin.gif

@majorsinbad: Thanks mate! biggrin.gif

If you cycle in wet weather (muddy/wet), I'd definitely recommend Finish Line's Wet Lube.

As for silicone spray. I'm using this one from "3-In-One".

@timothyy: I don't ride on road anymore. I stopped cycling a few months ago. But I do head to FRIM occasionally (once in 2 months?). biggrin.gif
