[net.bicycle] paraffin chain lube

jdi@psuvax1.UUCP (07/09/84)

A question on this: the freewheel.

I assume that when you first paraffin your chain you must also clean the
freewheel.  My question is -- Will a generous amount of 'Blue Shower'ing
fix it up or do I need to actually remove it and clean with kerosene?

Also on the chain subject, my bike started out as a 12 speed and was
transformed into a 15 speed half-step plus granny.  However, I believe they
left the original (narrow) chain on it and it fits very neatly Between
the outer two chainweels, which is no fun.  Will a better chain help?

Thanks.
