Anyone have one in their home shop? Many years ago I had access to one. Have long entertained the idea of adding one to my home shop. Just did a google search and prices seem to be fairly reasonable.
I think he's talking about bike parts, not man parts.I just use a 2.5 gallon bucket full of kitty litter. Insert part, shake vigorously, soak part in water to remove any kitty litter residue.
I think that's how he saves and preserves his poops.I think he's talking about bike parts, not man parts.
We had one of these at my old work, was a good hand warmer in Winter, not that fantastic at cleaning parts.I had some at my old work, I would love to have my own.
Which one do you have? What degreaser do you use?I have one, its absolutely great for 'deep cleaning' parts and chains.
Good ones that work are awesome for gunked up drivetrains. When I worked at the shop ours was primarily used for dirty and grimy road drivetrains.Had been wondering about a little ultrasonic though, it would be awesome for chains.
I did read that some cheaper ones were more like a wavepool than a US cleaner.Good ones that work are awesome for gunked up drivetrains. When I worked at the shop ours was primarily used for dirty and grimy road drivetrains.
Ah yes, water and heat, two things that speed up corrosion.I did read that some cheaper ones were more like a wavepool than a US cleaner.
Have you ever boiled a chain in water? I heard that that is supposed to get them pretty clean but have never tried it, it makes some sense, heat and agitation.......
Yea, nothing with bearings. Don't recall doing whole cranksets, but definitely chainrings. I think you can do derailleurs as long as they don't have bearings in the pulleys, or at least remove them.Just chain, chainring and cranks right? Cause most everything else has bearings or parts that would get screwed up? We had one at the shop I worked, but I don’t remember lol we threw in there.
Especially now everything's 50 tooth.Poked around google and amazon, it seems that the 1-2 L ones aren't large enough to hold an mtb cassette.
I've read some degreasers can/need to be mixed with water. Do you run yours straight or mixed?I forget what degreaser solution I am using but it’s excellent. I’ll update when I get home. I had to get a 5l one to fit the 51/52 cassettes. I got the cleaner on ebay, I don’t remember the brand.
I did this on the chain rings on my gravel bike. Thirty minutes was enough to remove the colour, that stuff was powerful haha. But the bike kind of looks cool being all black with silver rings. But that stuff was purple and definitely not organic. Derp.Mixed. A gallon jug will last for ten years at the rate I’m using it. I did make a mistake at first with a citrus degreaser that removed the anodization on a cassette.
...as oftenWax the chain and you won't need cleaning the cassette...
Ahh waxWax the chain and you won't need cleaning the cassette.
Cool thanks. Googling around that was one of the ones I turned up too.I’m in Perúúú, I’ll check when I get home...
wait, I found the eBay order, nothing but the finest Swiss manufacturing.
It even prevents water heat from diffusing, and that’s gotta be worth a LOT
