Pro tip: Buy some cardboard that is slightly taller then half of the wheel height on the stand, and cut a half circle on top for the axel and rim. That way, it wont move and you will block the entire wheel from any cleaning product or lube. Also, be careful when you spin the wheel by hand with dirty gloves. You'll get all the muc, oil and lube on the tire.
I was thinking doubled or tripled newspaper might work too. And lol at "buying" cardboard. Since the advent of Amazon I could start my own box company.
BMW says every 3 tank fills. I do it about every two weeks. Having a "thinking" job, actually sitting and doing some manual work feels therapeutic to me.
Cleaning chain with motul cleaner is way too expensive, you'll be wasting new chain+sproctets worth of money over the chain lifetime. Just use diesel fuel for cleaning, and gear oil for lube, and you'll need to clean the chain much less often, and it will actually last longer that if you use specialized lube, because gear oil attracts way less grit, that is destroying your chain. Oh and keep your chain properly adjusted, don't overtighten it, this is actually the most crucial aspect to make your chain last.
Hi, maybe dont use Motul on a chain that uses O/X/Z-rings since it penetrates the rings (Which you do very much not want). Ruined my first chain in under half a year... Fortnine made some videos that showed that for cleaner Ipone chain cleaner worked well, and for grease 80w-90 gear oil was good for chains with O/X/Z-rings.
Motul C1 is safe for O/x/z ring chains bro. I think you just had some bad luck, we'd all know by now if this was a common issue. Ryan gets a little "too scientific" sometimes.
