Wipe your chain with a clean rag... just hold the rag on the chain while rotating the pedal with your hand and then leave it.No more crappy trousers.

AndyIf its two weeks old, short of living in scotland and trying to outride mud-landslides before you go riding i can't see how it'd be dirty enough to warrant a chain cleaning tool on it. Just wipe it with a rag, and leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
