I'd be glad to further discuss solvent chemistry with you some time. (2) There are a number of items, likes cars, tape decks and VCR's that users would like to take care of once and then not "worry with" for a year. Unfortunately, my experience is that the world usually doesn't work that way for these items or for bicycles. Fred Klink
