I squirted a bit too far.

[turningCircle]

Wouldn't be the first time

Anyway, was lubing the chain today and accidentally overshot onto the inside of the rear disk brake. I now realize I was a dick and should have put a plastic bag or something over the rear brake to protect it from over-spray.

What's my best bet now? Take a rag to the inside of the rear disk brake or just leave it, go for a ride and pump my rear brake a few times? (or both...)(or something else)

[chickenstrip]

Brake cleaner or other suitable solvent and absorbent rag. Did it get onto the pads?

I've always given my brake disc a blast of brake cleaner after lubing as a matter of course. If it doesn't fully go it's not going to stay there long as it'll burn/rub off after a few rotations.

As long as your front brakes work, you'll be fine IMO

I lube the chain on the lower run with the bike on a stand and a sheet of scrap cardboard between the chain and tyre, works for me


As chickenstrip said, brake cleaner is the tool for the job, always keep some in stock.

[turningCircle]

Cheers all, will sort myself out with some brake cleaner.
It didn't get onto the pads. I don't use the back brake anyway ... erm .. I mean

[Gazz]

Bike is now a write off.

Dont ride; or you will die.

[Mudshark]

made the mistake today of pulling into the forecourt as a black cab was moving away from the pump, dozy old fuckwit (taxi driver) thought it was water there was so much of the effing stuff on the ground. Managed not to park in the vast puddles, but after stepping in it to get to the pump it was all over the soles of my boots, I was Bambi on ice.

cab driver should be shot

Ride for a few miles while dragging the rear brake. It'll burn off once you get it nice and hot

[Beehive Bedlam]

As above I use an old pizza box jammed between the chain and swing arm.

If there is nothing in the recycle bin I tape the side wall and spray six inches at a time to prevent it making a mess.

You lot make me lol. I use ascottoiler. You guys should put bike on centre stand and rotate wheel while spraying chain on front sprocket. Or jack up with a car scissor jack they can be had at scrapyards.
Much easyness.
AS For sprocket bearing run slightly loose rather than tight... No probs

My bottle of spare oil (used to have a Thunderace, it was vital spare kit) pissed out all over the back wheel when I was riding. Smoke everywhere. Asked a nearby person in their garden for any kitchen roll she could spare (thankyou whoever you were) to clean up. The back brakes were shot. Once oil is on them the pads need binning in my opinion.

New pads and back to normal.

Often get a bit of chain grease or wd40 on my chain. I just ride the bike. Never have issues and I'm not dead

I always remove the front sprocket cover and lube the chain from there - since the area around the front sprocket needs cleaning out anyway.
