My chain went rusty overnight recently, bright orange. Broke my heart. I blame the gear oil that people on here recommend. It flings off and it washes off. I used the bike all of last winter never had this before and I was using specific chain lubes then

 

Like William Shakespeare once wrote 'not all one reads on the t'internet is the truth' :mrgreen:

Weird commuting weather. On paper should be great. Unseasonably mild apparently but felt cold, not rained for a couple of days but the road was gleaming with moisture and not drying out. Tyre grip felt sketchy, tentative riders are not happy riders

Did 127 miles today, bike came home covered in a variety of substances, not all of which I’d care to identify.


Got the trusty pressure washer out and promptly trod on the water inlet and snapped it off.


It was an old Halfords branded one but the fittings were Nilfisk so I guess it makes sense to replace it with the same type. They seem to get decent reviews.
