washing bike!!!!

[Kurt]

Be careful of Simple Green around grease..like wheel bearings. I have an airplane and I used it to get the crud off the wheel pants and around the brakes. It got into the bearings and did a great job of washing off the grease! $130 later (all new bearings) it rolled again without squeaking.
