Little wheel that isnt first,

there is only 1 l in balance, and all new sentences must start with a capital. Pay attention in class!

Potentially you are outing yourself as The Ferret, correcting grammatical faults in punters. Good to see someone else cares about getting it right son........

I've been using turps, a 50c brush from cheap shop, wet bike with gentle shower setting on hose, chain cleanr with turps, clean chain. The use the brush with small amount of turps to get into brakes, derailleurs- not brake levers, bar-tape or on saddle- not good. Shower again with hose- on a path of grass you dont want to see again- rinse. bucket ofwarm water and spongue- wash bike- re-rinse. With clean rag, turn pedals backward with rag on chain- keep this up intil rag shows little or no grease marks. Dry- relube-All finished
