Is there any light at the end of the tunnel? Will there be justice for the neglected and abused parts? Who knows?

Re: Nightmares for MickF
It's not that bad!
I've seen worse!
It looks like the chain etc is clean, but is in desperate need of LUBRICATION!

Re: Nightmares for MickF
Yeah it wasn't actually that bad, could've taken a pic of my MTB's chain. I don't think I've ever cleaned it since I was given the bike a year ago, and I don't think it had been cleaned before then for a long time.
The chain had some muck on it and one or two little spots of rust. I've not oiled it because I've not ridden in a month due to weather and other factors. But there was indeed a light at the end of the tunnel.
Gave it all a quick scrub and some lube and it's ready to roll again now.

Just Rob please.
Re: Nightmares for MickF
There have been similar issues with some of my gear, especially if I 'nip down to the shop' on salted roads and don't look at that bike for another month.
I reduced a newish Mirage group set from deep shine to deep cloud by forgetting to wash the grit off.

Re: Nightmares for MickF
Rob are you sure you have not fitted a new one I wish mine were that clean.
How much would somebody charge for the chain cleaning service. Would there be different types as in a car wash.

Has that ever been ridden?
I'd post pictures of mine. But I fear I'll be heavily flamed...
Re: Nightmares for MickF
Ridden?
What do you think all that muck is on the stays?
Bike was last cleaned in late October!
The transmission was cleaned 23rd Nov, but I've only done 75 miles since then.
(Illness, snow and ice, illness again)

Sorry, didn't realise that was muck. I give mine a wash when I can't tell which is the front anymore... Mind you I am in't north...
Re: Nightmares for MickF
Ah, Warrington ......
Do you feel you live in Lancashire or Cheshire?
When I was a kid Up North, Warrington was Lancs, as it's north of the Mersey, but I think they moved it.
We have a niece living in Golborne BTW.

I can gaurantee its been ridden I followed Mick from Camelford to Okehampton and was mesmerised by the scrupulously clean cassett and chain, every time I looked down at mine coverd in oil and dirt I did have a guilt thing

Percussive maintainance, if it don't fit, hit it with the hammer.

Re: Nightmares for MickF
Excellent stuff FW!
Saw the picture in the thread yesterday.
What about the spring?
Perhaps it's not needed.
