Bicycle Tutor

Here is a little tip I wish to share with everyone here on BicycleTutor.com. I was looking at the chain before I decided to tear apart this bike to completely overhaul it. Now granted I am gonna do a complete tear down of every part to the frame, this thought popped into my mind. If I were cleaning the chain why on earth do I need to clean off the same dirt/gunk from the wheel assembly from the chain? Hmmm, why not just get some sort of backing to fit behind the chain but in front of the wheel! Then I said out loud, "CARDBOARD BOX!". I am sure someone somewhere has used, thought off, or made a video with it in it, but then maybe not?!? Well here ya go.....

By the way I found using this stuff call "LA's Totally Awesome" works great. It is cheap and cleans the dirt, grease, and grime right up!

Nice, I haven't seen that before but it's really clever and looks like it does the trick!

Yes saves a lot of time from drying off the wheel, frame, etc. Also the only thing I didn't mention is one can take the left over cut out piece and cut out a circle (or square) that fits to go over the remaining part of wheel to spray down the cassette. The cardbox I used was a large pizza box! Yes the pizza was pretty good too lol.

Nice job Bill and that bike looks good too. I have to many bicycle here to work on but it helps pass the time. Once out in the shop hours goes by fast have spent 8 hours and never knew it until my wife check on me I keep a coffee pot in my shop you need coffee and donuts to work good. lol

I will use this tip. I am going to cleam my MTB tonight.
