I find that heating a perfectly clean crankcase in the oven to replace bearings, and, indeed, putting bearings in the freezer, causes a disproportionate reaction. It's not as though we don't change out of our greasy boots Or forgetting that you left a tin of Linklyfe bubbling away on the hob while you nipped out for a pint, other half home first, marked lack of understanding I thought...... For the younger user, in the days before O and X ring chains you lubed a chain by gently boiling in Linklyfe, a thick black grease. Atb S.

Been there, done that, though not leaving it on the stove and going out. I was guilty of overheating Linklyfe, once, until it flashed over and caught fire. Nowadays I use an ancient picnic stove - the chain on my bike is still old school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
