Read the post though and got the point. Clean your chain with a rag on a stick. Preferably after the sprocket and not before it.

But this DOES remind me of a George Carlin joke.

You can't go "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" You can't do that! It's not even an option!

Not that this needs repeating, but I was told never to clean the chain with the biek on. I mean, that's common sense... right? Those photos were truly upsetting. The weirdest part is, the other day I was talking about a boy I knew in grade school who had lopped off half of his finger by putting it into a spinning exercise bike wheel.

Some people just need a hard lesson...even though it is COMPLETELY obvious not to do something. My mom always talked about her old boss when she worked at nationwide back in the day who's son chopped off all his fingers on a push lawnmower...something about he was trying to remove/fix something and had it tilted up on its side while it was on. :roll:
