Hi,

Stupidly took bike on the beach and now have sand in the chain and cogs and stuff. I've tried to remove using WD40 and cotton buds - have got most of but still a bit crunchy.

Any good tips or products (chain cleaner) that will help remove stubborn sand??

Thanks

    put a new chain on?

    Or remove chain and wash in a degreaser. then dry and lube.
