QUOTE(mADmAN @ Jan 26 2024, 01:08 AM) Dont waste money with branded cleaning kits...just get kerosene n the chain cleaner brush...just make sure its kerosene...some will sell.u turpentine coz it looks n smells the same but theyre not the same. lots of hardware stores dont sell this anymore n some newer, younger generation ones have never even heard of it. Can still be easily found if u look hard enough. Diesel works as well but its a little tougher to get off once ur done. Kerosene, turpentine, diesel..... not recommended to be used on chains with o-rings. |

QUOTE(amos2001 @ Jan 26 2024, 11:32 AM) I did look at ipone on shopee, but wd-40 works too? Will it damage the chain or give not enough lube to it? from the test done by fortnine @7:05, WD40 passed the test.i sometimes use WD40 if my chain gets too dirty. clean it with WD40 first , the use mucoff. if not i just use mucoff (smells nice, fruity). mucoff chain lube smells like strawberry. first ride after lubing, you can actually catch the strawberry scent. |

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Jan 26 2024, 11:50 AM) Kerosene actually is the most recommended cleaner...its even the active ingredient in alot of branded chain cleaners. Turpentine no coz its petroleum based. So yes...use kerosene. Not turpentine. Theyre o-ring safe. As for wd40, should be safe...but the mr diy knock off wd40 better not coz thats also petroleum based. @7:24 no thanks. |

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Jan 26 2024, 11:58 AM) Lol...dunno abt that test tbh...i have doubts. yeah, heard that too before.Got some have rendam orings in multiple fluids...1 guy over a year...n kerosene came out as the best condition o ring. Which ryan even mentioned in that video Ill save my money n stick to kerosene but i play safe. I will not save money on these things. use proper cleaners. not taking any chances. oring failure can also cause chain break. imagine chain break at high speed. you'll be lucky if the chain didn't get snag onto the wheel. and chain break can cause more damages to the bike.
