Cleaned and lubed my chain for the first time today, and did something pretty stupid. I managed to get a sizeable dose of it round the edge of my rear tyre before I realised what was going on. Whats the best way to get it off? Kerosene just didn't seem to work.

kerosene after WD40 works fine. then wash off with water and detergent

The WD40 + Kero combo worked a treat by the looks of it, guess I'll find out for sure on the way to work tomorrow. If it's still bad, guess I'll have to learn to hoon
Thanks for the quick responses guys.Comment

You are obviously new to this, when lubing your chain, you only need the smallest amount.

sand paper after washing it with soft paper (soap and water) is the bestComment

Bump on this
I got a small amount on the left edge, all the way round (I got a bit excited) I rubbed it off with a sponge and water(sponge had car cleaner that had dried into it). I came back the next day and it was still shiny and sticky?
Should I be worried about leaning it corners?

It's on the outer edge of the tread surface and doesn't feel slippy but sticky, that's what I find weird hahaOriginally posted by MaccaThe Correct number of bikes to own is n+1, where n equals the number of bikes you currently own (This is simplified and doesn't take into account the wife modifier)Comment
