>>2002260that's pretty cool to hear, hope it doesnt rust or anything. i sprayed a bunch of multifunction spray on it so hopefully that gives some protection.
the shifters are these i think, and its a bit rough, the 8 grip works decently but it goes to rest in between numbers often, not sure if it does anything bad
and the 3 one I need to pull it to 2.5 to shift from 1 to 2, and 3 feels a bit tight to get to, might be weak wrists or something.
not sure if its something I can fix or clean cause only been dealing with brakes and derailer stuff for now.
but it seems alright. would be nice to get new grips though cause one is rubbed through on the end, someone must have fallen over on it.
>looks cleanshouldn't I try to do something about the rust? i got that multifunction spray I could try. there were literal chunks of dirt and black shit in between every gear, not sure if I cleaned it well cause was pressed for time (it was a public garage project where they had free tools and advice), just used a rag to slide it between them.
>chainyeah I cleaned it as well as I could with bike cleaner, water, and some break cleaner too, then more soap and water, dried it, out oil on, but i didn't have time to clean the front dersiler so I think it picked up some garbage anyway, but its way better than it was before, actually shifts smooth and I can even do multiple gears in one motion no problem, so that's nice.
so for chain I'd need:
quick link pliers (ones in that video look nice), rivet tool, new chains on ali are 5 euro I think and have pretty good reviews so that's cool.
I'm assuming I can get by without special solvent and use vinegar and soap water or dish soap and stuff like that?
