correct. you can't use 11sp chains on 12sp setup. its the number of chain links i'm talking about.

Buy a bottle of GLO lemon (the liquid dishwashing soap) and mix 50/50 with water in a sprayer bottle. I'm using this and it works just like the branded ones.

Won't it be a little harsh for the bike's surface?

maybe he applied to cassette & tyre only

Nope. I don't think so. Dishwashing liquid is softer than detergent and safe on bike paint.

Eh? Isn't dishwashing liquid is a detergent? I do know that never to use any of that on car paint surface.

Anyway, just to share on this as well, I use a water-based engine degreaser from Mequiars.

Ic ok...

Normally I apply to the chain, cassette and some dirty areas that might need extra scrubbing. Those normal dirt I just use water and sponge to clean it

I've been using this natural degreaser called Holy Cow for a while now. It's the heavy duty degreaser in a 1-gallon bottle. You can get from Ace Hardware for about RM70 to RM80. It's green in colour. Lasts quite a while, especially if you dilute it with water.

me just use wd40 to degrease cassette & chains
use dish washer to rinse it

lol

Works just as well. I use to do this before too.

chain - i wash it with petrol. bling like new.

the rest of the bike, im using Joy.. because it provides so much joy to me.. lol



The truth is that, dishwashing liquid is gentle to the bikes, be it alu or carbon. Else, got a proper bike wash stuff ie muc-off

pakai kerosene or diesel better. petrol is too heavy on metal.
ya i too use dishwash liquid as it works like charms. no issue on my bikes. for many years.
WHat said on the dishwash not safe is just a marketing gimmick to avoid you from using and sell their own product to u.

for a proper cleaning i think just dont let the WD40 touch the brake's rotor and pads

any1 kdcf tomorrow?

yup
dont over spray to rotor
else GGWP downhill
hahaha

anyone here joining the krankykiara enduro race?
