Hey
Ok I finally decided on white lightning epic dry for lube, and fenwicks fs-1 for cleaner from my LBS.
So what should I be doing, just soak the bike in the 10-1 solution and give it a good scrub and then use the fenwicks neat for the chain and mechs?
Also are there things that I should stay away from getting wet or is all ok?
Also My back racing ralph has lost quite a bit of grip, they are tubed, and want to change the front to the rear and then buy some new ones, is this as easy as I think it is, just take the tyres off and swich them? Do I need any special tools, as I dont have any.
Thanks guys for helping me.
