I go through these like a dose of salts having 3 boys who get punctures all the time and me who
cycles through mud regularly. Ican't believe I need to pay £40! for 5 litres of degreaser, anyone
help? What is the biggest and best cheap online cycle shop?

anyone help?Do you really need degreaser for mud? Water and elbow grease is cheaper. WD40 (or copy) on a
rag does for the sprockets, etc. White spirit is good for soaking chains and things in and can
be re-used.Tubes: Could try asking bike shop for a discount on a box of 10, or.....
sjscycles.comvIndex.htmOpen ↗ - inner tubes - butyl presta - "20x1 3/8 /500A
(37x440-451) normal length presta valve quality economy butyl inner tube SPECIAL PRICE: £2.50". Is
that the right size? (I know little about bmx's). Prestas should fit rims with the help of a grommet
even if current tubes are schrader. Warning SJS postage is £5 for orders under £50.edinburgh-bicycle.co.ukedinburgh-bicycle.co.ukOpen ↗ - 1.5/2.125 schrader: £2.95

There isn't one that's best for everything, so it depends on precisely what you need each time.

But remember to re-lube after cleaning!! with all those evaporating substances used for cleaning .
WD40 seems to bring a nice shine to the frame though.Cheers Michael
