>>1524164banana country, just imported frames, few and expensive frames/fork hand-builders focused mainly on touring, not even a law involved except mandatory reflectors
>>1524926use kerosene, best cleaning fluid for chain and shit. just await for it to evaporate. after that, apply some specific lube you like.
>>1526690just buy any 8 speed chain, same width as 6 and 7 speed chains. shimano cn40 chains comes with pins for closing, but are hard to find in LBS. but 8 speed chain are easy to closing using its ribbets, and it's better than using one-use chain links. it would be better having pic related but LBS doesnt offer them on 8 speed.
