All they are is a couple of leather boot laces wrapped around the screw twice and tied off with a twist tie and given a bit of weight with a couple of 20mm nuts. I remember my Grandfather using something similar without the weights on the axles of his pushbike to keep them clean and shiny so I thought I would give the ballscrews the same treatment.
They are cheap and last forever and require minimal maintenance.
If you have a cleaning method you use then post it here for us to compare.

Hi baccus61

I really like this old school straight forward solution.
