Chain Cleaning & Maintneance

All knowledgeable cyclists know that THE most important thing in
cycling is proper chain cleaning and maintenance...yet, most cyclists
neglect this essential task, or use slapdash lazy techniques that are
letter better than pure neglect.

Mostly this is due to ignorance. Few cyclists are aware that there
is really only ONE RIGHT WAY to care for your all-important chain.

Now, the bicycle scientists of ShelBroCo have codified the PROPER
METHOD and offer a complete kit, the:

Sheldon, thanks for this new product. It fills a much-needed gap in the
bicycle maintenance market, and I'm sure it will be a great success for
you. I'll certainly be ordering my deluxe kit first thing Monday.

Can you recommend a supplier for the requisite safety gear? I've got
some of this stuff at home, but I'll be needing the suit and some heavy
duty gloves. Also, should I get some steel-capped boots, or will
ordinary leather shoes do?

You can't put too high a price on safety.

Guinness is a food. I remember reading somewhere that there is sufficient
nutrients to live on in 12 pints of Guinness and a pint of milk every day. But
who could drink a whole pint of milk? -- Tim D on fatcyclist.com

That is why I prefer old style chains. You can use all sorts of methods,
even rubbing it on the sheeps back.

I think you forgot to mention that this should be done after
every ride.

I only have one problem with this, and it's a biggie: where's the
Campag deluxe kit? Is there some sort of discrimination being
perpetrated here? Fur could fly!!!
