[i]nepaleze gnats jizz at 1/3 concentrate[/i]

a [b]third[/b] good god man everyone knows you shouldn't use that above 2/5ths dilution on white bikes. *shakes head*

OP: bit of degreaser on a clean cloth will get rid of any greasy marks once you've cleaned it.

wwaswas - you are a complete bafoon!
the OP wants a clean white bike to prove his shirt lifting credentials to those who cannot see his rainbow coloured buff; hence i quoted 1/3 concentrate.
any numpty knows the 2/5th rule - hopefully they still teach you that with the cyling profeciency test at 10 years old?

Nah, due to the near-extinction of the Nepalese gnat they're now encouraging use of the Madagascan tse-tse fly, sadly it's jizz is less concentrated, so you have to do 4/7 dilution on most colours, anodised you may get away with 3/11.

Seems to work well though.

njee - i find the madagascan version leaves a crusty residue; maybe i'm not diluting it enough? didn't crc have a special bulk load of it? you could get it by the sack full, i believe

Indeed, I bought a scrote-load in their flood sale, pre-diluted that way!

i thought the flood was caused by the tse-tse milking parlour at the rear of the crc warehouse and a particularly well endowed fly causing a malfunction?
