Think they have some slow cookers in as well.
And @TriCurious
I’ve had a look online and can’t see these in the “Middle at Lidl” page.
I’m willing to drive to Northwich if they deffo have them in stock there…I’ve loads of room, just never been arsed to do this.
I copied it from a cycling FB page so can’t confirm it myself.
If it’s the same one they had a couple of weeks ago, I think it’s too small to do much more than a chain, or a straight through block, none of these wide ones that actually get you up hills.
@Poet think they had a few left the other week but it said when it’s gone it’s gone so wouldn’t guarantee there are any left.

Assume it’s this one.
So half a cassette at a time.

I rescued a rice cooker from the annual purge last year thinking I might be able to use it for waxing chains.
Seems like a ball ache though.
After the initial faff it’s really quick. Chain off, into cooker wait, pickup, leave to cool then back on.

A couple of questions about the ultrasonic cleaners:-
- what solution do you put in them?
- if you’re waxing your chains, how dirty are your cassettes getting? Mine just need a wipe whilst cleaning my bike…certainly nothing like the cassette in the video above.
I’ve got this.
5l of concentrate Ultrasonic degreaser
It’ll last you years I’d imagine. I’ve cleaned one cassette after Helvellyn and another off of my winter bike after a particularly mucky ride

Nice one, living the wild life.
You will have to let me know how you get on!
I’m sure by now you know what you’re doing, but this seems a very concise explanation of everything involved.

I do not 
I’ve been frantically texting my riding buddy from yesterday with what to do.
I’m hoping that PDF involves this?

I don’t recall alcopops being part of the process.
