My bike chain is rusty, and I was thinking of trying out something like this. Would this work for parts that move and interlock with each other?

I'll be honest with you. I have never tried it but I'm sure it will work. All its doing is neutralizing the rust so it can stop spreading.

i do not think it is made for that. I would recommend to put it in a container with solvent, clean it good and then oil it good. thats only my opinion.

No, it's primary purpose is to convert rust to a black substance than can be sanded. Just oil your chain.

Take the chain off and soak it in a solution of 1 part molasses to 9 parts water for 2 days to 2 weeks. It removes rust without etching. There are several demonstrations on you tube, you would have to scrub a little to take of the rust slurry when it's done. I've tried it with old shovels and clippers, worked wonders.

I regularly use this for 3 mountain bikes. It took a couple tries to get each hook at the right height to get the bikes to "interlock" and keep handlebars and pedals from interfering. I think it's great that the bikes hang from their wheels.

Yes you have to play around a little as i did. I switch out the sprockets on mine. That`s just that my chain is two links short, but it should work well. Remember i used my old sprockets, just clean and grease them.

If you install this on a bike with existing cassette and drailleur on the back wheel, you will have chain-line issues. This is meant for a sine speed setup.

I see you've been waiting for an answer for a long time. I have the very same question. It looks like on all the units I've seen that you have to thread the chain through them, which would be easy for chains on geared bikes. I'm gonna guess that it would be a problem using one of these which would be a shame.

Certainly, no problem! Any chain will work, its only the length of chain that matters! Oregon is a good quality chain, also

It will still work, the two latches will clamp together holding the bike steady and with the adjustable spinner.

This will work with any chain that has 1" links,which is about 99.9 % of the chains in common use. (To be certain, just measure your chain from the center the of pin on one end of one link to the center of the pin on other end.) The number of gears is irrelevant: I've used it on 6, 8 and 10 speed chains (all Shimano). This is an excellent tool, by the way.

Thanks.. I've done that.. I hope I get an answer.. I've been unable to find a chain that fits my bike.. I hope they can help me.

I have, I just used my multitool chain breaker. I had to remove a few links so the chain would be the right length for my fixed gear bike. It's tough at first because the pins are a bit larger at the ends.

I have looked at a photo of your bike and can see no reason why it should not work. The rack clamps to any bar, vertical or horizontal on the bike and holds it securely. I have clamped all three of my bikes at one time with this device and it works splendidly.

Although this is designed for open forks, not thru axles, I'm not qualified to say you couldn't get it to work. You would certainly have to disassemble the bolt, nut and clamp each and every time you used it.

Yes, assuming it's a 10-speed cassette. I have used this chain with a 10-speed 11-32 cassette and 50/34 chainset.

I believe I have. It's not super easy to do as it's supposed to be a heavy duty chain but it is possible with the right tools. You'll definitely need to put some force behind it though.

Doesn't look like it will work - use the Oregon bar/chain selector guide: www.oregonproducts.com/homeowner/lookups/selguide.aspx?BusId=CONS&SellReg;=USA&Lang;Id=ENG

I have put three different bikes on this trainer, only one with the pin provided. Yes, it would work.

I tried to see if we can, however i do not think it's possible. If securing is important for you, you want to buy it and take to local hardware shop to weld something to it or maybe the item listed below. http://www.amazon.com/Combination-Bike-Lock-Coated-Chain/dp/B009ZWBL5M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1377794084&sr=8-2&keywords=chain+with+number+lock Hope it helps.
