That's pricy stuff! Nearly double the cost of Shimano.... could just be because I'm in Canada though

Tijoe:
I paid just over $14 US when I purchased mine.  Looks like they have raised prices.  Perhaps no sales going on now, or because it is close to spring, they raise prices just like happens elsewhere when consumers think more about buying bike parts.   

Cerps:
I recall reading not to use the automotive brake cleaner on bike brake rotors because it leaves a residue that doesn't get burnt off at bike temperatures like it would on an automobile.

I recently used automotive electronic cleaner to spray out my suspension bearings and clean off my hub ratchets.  It cleans off the grease and flashes off really fast.

Good call on that. A wipe down with an alcohol based on the bike yesterday leaner afterwards would be safe

For oil I'm using Citroen (also for Rolls Royce and Bentley) hydraulic mineral oil by Comma. 8€ for 1 litre. Works perfect.
