This is probably something most of you have NOT had to deal with, but on my recent tour of the
Mojave desert, we had to deal with a short section of sand blasting and, later, a several our
dust storm. Today, I got down to the work of cleaning up the trike. I did a few spins with one of
those on-bike chain cleaning tools, and the *surface* looks better, but when I wiggle the links I
can hear/feel grit in each of the links. I mean, this stuff has really penetrated the chain. I'm
going to have to pull the chains off, I think, and do a more vigorous scrub job, maybe the
shaking-in-a-bottle technique that Sheldon Brown recommends. What do you all think? Can this
chain be saved?
