Roxy: Chain Cleaning [15,575]

I should have really cleaned and lubed the chain as soon as I got her.  Hard to say, but for some reason I doubt the PO was doing regular chain maintenance given he didn't even keep the oil topped up.


The cleaning station setup.  Unfortunately, there was no way to get the rear wheel to rotate, even by weighing down the front end, so I just had to keep walking the bike a few feet every time I had to move the chain. 

Dirty chain.

Cleaned and lubed.  Just used 50/50 Pine Sol mix in a spray bottle for cleaning, along with a nylon bristle brush (love that Pine Sol!).

Using Lucas chain lube, since that's what they had at the auto store.  But I already ordered a couple of cans of DuPont Teflon Chain Saver, since I hear that's the gold standard in good, no-fling chain lube.
