Re: Cleaning chains

[mfay@xxxxxxxxx (Martin Fay)]

     I work with a guy who has a stump where his right thumb should be 
     after a dumb attempt to clean the chain on his Honda SuperDream.
     
     I'll echo Scott, Don't even consider it!

It seems like an easy way to get the chain really clean, really quick - Put 
the bike on its centerstand or a race lift while idling in first gear, soak 
a rag in solvent and lightly grasp the moving chain with the rag.
     
The next thing to know is that you should have a rag dampened with clean 
water nearby to wrap the severed ends of your fingers in as your riding 
buddy dials 911.
     
I was the buddy.  DON'T DO IT!
