People peddling bullshit as fact on KB

[vifferman]

Mate, I'm not sure if this is a myth or truth. You'd better have some reputable source to back this claim up.

Do I need to go and cut'n'paste it from the thread it was in, or can you do that yourself?
Sorry - stupid question.
Clicky.

Or the classic:"A loud exhaust warns drivers I'm approaching"

In their sound proofed cars with sound systems blaring-yeah right

[The Stranger:Me]

...KB would be pretty much void of new content in an instant...!

But, but... How then could I go fishing from the comfort of my lounge? Nooooooo.

The seals in a chain will be resistant to petroleum products like Kerosene.

But unlike WD40 and diesel for that matter, kerosene is dry, penitrates sealed joints washes out any lubricant and evaporates off fully leaves the seal face dry.

It is essential that IF a chain is washed in Kerosene, a spray on lubricant like that in an aerosol can is used luberally. Spray lubricants use a cut back solvent that will penitrate a dry joint like that left after a kero wash.

A second point, is that a little lubricant on the oring seal also helps seal the joint. If that joint is dried out by washing in Kero, there is an increased risk of introducing abrasive particles when the seal/link moves around a sprocket, leading to premature chain wear.

Now you need to decide, do I know what I am talking about or am I bullshitting out a hole in my head?


Ever seen those pies in a celophane packet with labling that says..."Contents, one pie"

The last DID Oring chain I bought stated clearly on the box:"clean with kerosene and lubricate only with motor oil.Under no circumstances use aerosol motorcycle chain lubes".

We are very fortunate to have members such as Stranger, whose opinions ARE fact, so we are kept on the straight and narrow.Steve

Nope WRONG steve. Stranger doesn't always quote FACT Stranger often quotes his opinion based on his experience.
We have on occasion agreed to disagree on subjects of bike ride safety.
Both arguments have valid and well thought out reasoning behind them
Both points of view are situationally correct.

I like that bit! All we need now to work out is KB's situation....

[FROSTY:Me]

what I mean is for example I like to apply the KISS principle for newbee riders.
Stuff like --ride in the right wheel track and, if in doubt do nowt (on a slippery road)

Stranger takes a slightly different aproach

[sinfull]

I must apologise, as there is no "dripping with sarcasm" smiley, then you would (might?) have seen the real truth behind what I am saying.

What I'm saying of course, is the same thing that you are saying, and I will quote you ;

This I agree with you 100% completely and irrevocably on. You inadvertantly and accurately sum up the thread in a single sentence.

But Stranger, or you, or I, or anyone, does not have the final say on what is truth or not. The reader does.

See, we agree.

In all this about posting facts about what is right or wrong, truth or deception,
what is missing?
adaption and experiments.
Yes there are standard opinions and truths that should be accepted as fact,
like "you cant ride a bike sitting on it backwards" ( carver will say different)

Now, there are standards of mechanical engineering that we hold as fact,
Things we all know work and dont work, tyres put on wrong is suicide.
To accept johnnys experiance that he got better cornering out of his contikis by doing this and increased the mileage by 3000k. Obvious bullshit.

So, must we seek the truth of all things to be sure its fact and safe to do!

Then came along JOHN BRITTON

adaption, experiments NO8 teckowlagy are as much a part of this forum as the truth. Lets listen and learn rater than critisize and reject.

Now where is my purple Harpic toilet bowl cleaner, perfect for cleaning polished alloy.

Follow the instructions on the packet....

On or off road?

That's not true Steve. You do speak the truth! And now I'm off to buy Hyosungs for my whole family, cause they fucken rock!

I tend to agree , myth or not , using WD40 or CRC is a very controversial subject.

Have always used WD40 on the chains of my MX and offroad bikes. No problems what so ever. But bike chain lube manufacturers wont be able to con you into buying their expensive chain wax's by letting you know that will they??

You should all use what you're comfortable using. That's why I only use Delo400 diesel oils in all my bikes.

I currently have a rear tyre on the front of one of my bikes and haven't died yet.

[allycatz]

Well being a predominately male site I guess one can expect at least some bullshit aye.....seriously though, in the quest to get my ample derriere back on a bike again and not just me scooter, I would have to say advice has been very encouraging so far
