Asked earlier if my bike chain could be saved, and there was a resounding yes. It has surface rust, with a bit of rubbing with my finger it revealed the chain.
I have some ideas so far, but all have unanswered questions residing in them.
first, I have to get the rust off, with what product do I use to do this. I am not looking to get the tool to pop my chain off, I was playing with the bike and the chain comes off a good amount to work with. Using an old toothbrush for this (or steel wool if I can find it) I have read that WD40 is horrible to use on your bike, but it was also suggested that this should be used to clean.. any suggestions?
Also, what should I put on for lubricating oil? Brands? anything that I can find at a farm and fleet? Bike shops are rare out here.
Thank you.
