either upside down on some cardboard to prevent scratching seat and handlebars, or get a workmate (sawhorse) and weigh it down, i use 35lb weights, then using the clamp and a couple hockey sticks, prop the bike up and boom, you have your own functional bike stand. sure it’s no articulating stand and it doesn’t hold the front tire off the ground, but it’s worked for 20+ bikes and still has yet to fail me. or a third hand to hold up the back tire works as well, just make sure to pay them good if you take that route

After solvent and washing water, I use a kettle of boiling water, poured over the chain while I back pedal. This gets rid of the last of the solvent and washing water, while helping the chain dry quicker. I get ride of any water by using GT85, which also ensures penetration of lube.

Great video. I think hitting the chain with 1. Solvent degreaser, 2. Soapy water w/Oxyclean, then 3. 70% Rubbing Alcohol, drying completely, then lubing with the correct wet/dry lube is the way to go. Emphasis on wiping off all the excess lube! Too much lube is possibly worse than not enough, due to the dirt it can collect.

Been getting into some 'amateur' bike repair this summer and I can't tell you how annoying it is finding a bike that someone gobbed up with a heavy weight automotive grease. You get dirtier from a single touch of the chain than anything else you repair on the bike. Found that brake cleaner works best to cut through that sort of grease buildup.

He wipes the chain off way too soon. Instead, backpedal for at least 1-2 minutes. As the rollers pass over the cogs and jockey wheels, they'll rotate slightly within the chain and that will help draw the new lube into where it needs to be inside the roller. Wipe off then repeat a few hours later on a freshly cleaned chain.

There are e-bikes with chains that cannot been turned backwards. In that case remove the handle of the Park Tool Chain cleaner and turn the tool so that the place where the handle usually is mounted faces the frame of the bike. Now you can turn the chain forward and the tool is as useful as it is for normal bikes. I do it like that and I am very happy and my chain is easily cleaned.

Get the metal body CM25. It's pricey but unless you do something stupid to it you'll never have to buy another one, only on rare occasion have to replace components. The plastic scrubbers work but eventually develop cracks. Put a magnetic strip or a small magnet in the bottom to pick up metallic particles - the CM 5.2 has a magnet built in.

I tried for the first couple of years with my latest bike (I have only owned and ridden a single bike at a time)... to keep it clean and shiny all the time, immaculate. I obsessed over the chain to the point of cleaning it during rides. This is all while averaging over 7K miles a year, 20 to 120 mile rides year around. That means for me, living in the Pacific Northwest, 4 to 6 months of riding in the rain and on muddy wet surfaces. I have a Rohloff Speedhub mounted on a full-suspension touring bike coupled to a BBSHD mid-drive and it's amazing. It's broken me to ever owning another bike without a Rohloff. The mid-drive and the Speedhub are made for each other, they go together like lamb and tuna fish. @ The 1st year I rode I changed the chain 8 times... whenever it got to 0.5% wear as tested with a Park tool. After another 25K miles and 4 years riding I now wipe the chain clean daily and swap my chains every 6 months. Drop the chain, flip or replace the Rohloff gear, mount a new chain, and ride. Always having a straight chain line makes it amazingly easy to maintain. 11 Jul 19 - 71 miles w/front panniers & trailer on less than 15Ah... 1/2 the packs capacity. www.relive.cc/view/g37290970278 photos.app.goo.gl/RD1NrDPCZQuHpWja9

At 1:52 I usually pour my solvent in before attaching to the chain and closing the chain cleaner. Is that fine as well? Works for me so far.

When you run the chain through the cleaner for the second time (2:37), is it just soapy water inside the cleaner?

That is correct.

When I backpedal is causes my chain to come loose? Should I get this looked at at my bike shop? Could you just pedal forward instead?

Typically this is caused by something preventing the freewheel or cassette from spinning. This could be internal corrosion, build up of debris behind the largest sprocket or debris near the frame.

Can this tool be used pedaling forwards? My bike doesn’t backpedal as I have coaster brakes

The handle of the most recent version can be switched to the opposite side and can then be used while pedaling forwards.

hey, I've seen you around the comments and it looks like you don't belong in the biking community. For you i suggest going over to PETA and other climate change/eco sites. You'll feel much more happy there.
