Tyre warmers & keeping them clean?

[scorry]

Just wondering how everyone goes at keeping there tyrewarmers clean?

im currently using a bit of formica (cos its skinny and strong ish) and putting it between the chain and the warmer but it is a bit of an ass cos it keeps moving.

Also has anyone ever cleaned their's before?

mine has got quite a bit of grease / chain lube on the rear just from rubbing on the chain a little.
I asked a drycleaning place if they could clean them, they said they could but that i would have to take them to a sparky before i used them again.

Why do you want them clean? :shifty:

I switched to chain wax for that very reason and wipe the inside face of the chain each time !
Don't help ya with cleaning them but, have read a few theories on here so some ideas will no doubt turn up shortly !

Don't try to clean them mate, leave them as is.

any reason mate?

A good reason to have Black ones......

Wouldn't want to clean them, as the smoke in the wires don't like water too much i'm picking...

There is a potential for all the smoke to leak out once you plug them in next time....

make up a nice chain guard one that covers the inside of the chain
dirt prevention

AS they are full of electrics stuff! Would you wash an electric blanket? as that is all the average tyre warmer is
