Any thoughts ?.


On another note, why is it that I can't get an accurate reading (let alone any reading) when trying to inflate the tyres using my air compressor or Milwaukee air inflator ?, I use the little gold adaptor on the Presta valves but I have no idea on how much pressure is in the tyres, do I need to purchase a foot pump ?, are they the only way to read correct pressures ?.

Cheers.

I use good old Kerosene for cleaning the cassettes and chain either with a cheapo paint brush or a flash 'Park" chain cleaning tool.



Give it a short rinse using the paint brush without soaking the axles to much with some clean Kero then dry and lube. Wet lube on the road or dry offroad.

Yes and a foot track pump (I like Silca) is the most accurate way to pump tyres.
