    Chains

    Re: I like Campagnolo chains, they seem to be noticeably longer lasting than the Shimano and SRAM chains I've had. 9 speed chains work just fine on 7, 8 and of course 9 speed cassettes; I'm not sure about 6 speed, I haven't had anything 6 speed since the 80s. Not cheap though.

    Best method of cleaning white grips and saddles.

    Re: I had a go with some cleaning stuff and both the saddle and the grips have come up nice and clean. I don't think the bike has been used much and was mainly just a bit dusty from wherever it was stored.

    Best method of cleaning white grips and saddles.

    My brother has bought a very lightly used Hoy bicycle for my nephew for Christmas, like this one: I offered to give it a clean and a once-over. Now i've wiped of some dust and given the frame a polish it looks pretty much brand new with hardly a mark or any signs of use on it. However, the...
