< Subject: [CR] Cleaning dirty bike parts / and bikes.

< I don't know why I'm commenting on this subject, but, the method I use has been < time-tested for the past 48 years,,i.e., I instruct my wife to do it, whilst I < loll back and have a pint of Guiness, Whatever method she uses is probably her < secret , but the bikes always look spick and span when I need to go for a ride. < She also seems to have the mechanical adjustments down to a fine art ( which < reminds me, I think she needs to put a new chain on my red bike )..

< So, my method is to trust the wife, providing the food doesn't smell like < cleaning fluids later..( I bought her some neat rubber gloves for Christmas )
