PS: I watched the video back and cringed at how many times I, absentmindedly, used "uh..." and "um...". I apologize. I guess recording my voice and speaking with purpose and goal for viewers has caught me off guard. In future videos and Vlogs, I'll make it a point to never use such shitty diction again. =D

@bikenutter1

Thanks for the sub. I apologize for the lack of videos. I'm back in college and just moved, so things have been hectic. I promise to be active this year.

I had a Scot Oiler on my old bike. It was great and extended the life of the chain loads but I found I had oil on my tyre quite often. Any advice on how to clean the oil of your tyre. I don't need to explain how scary that can be!

@niceboyandy

You're going to need a non-polar, organic solvent to break up the oil. Acetone is great for spills, but I've never used it on my tyres. If I get grease on my tire, I'll clean it with diesel/kerosene and then take some nice long straight rides before doing anything outside of normal.

Good video...after scrubbing I used some shop towels to wipe the excess kerosene and grime off. Then I used the chain lube.

It's so simple once you acquire a rear stand.
