Friend got weird LBS advice on cassette replacement
#5
There are no moving parts in a cassette (unlike a freewheel), so you can be pretty aggressive in cleaning it - I actually ran it through the dish washer with no soap. It came out nice and shiny, and very evident that there was no wear.
^^^^^^^^^
Man Nigel, you must be single. My wife would give me hell if she found bike parts in the dishwasher. :-))) Although you are right that works good for motorcycle heads , I have been told.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AS per cleaning, lots of good stuff around . Some good citrus stuff and simple green, and its friendly. Soak it in a old plastic jug, like Bill said.
Never Give Up!!!
