>>>> Any of you have luck with a parts cleaner that is not smelly or toxic but works well? I have used Pedro's and another biodegradable kind purchased from bike shops that works well but it gets expensive in those little cans.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I've been using various LPS products for some time, and have been quite pleased with them. They make several different cleaner/degreasers that don't seem too toxic or offensive smelling. My favorites are Zero Tri and Pre Solve for serious stuff, and Precision Clean for lesser jobs. I've used these on MANY bike parts, with no problems. I also use their Contact Cleaner for cleaning residue from other cleaners, stickers, tape, etc. Their line of lubricants, especially the LPS-1, 2 and 3 series work well too. The 3 is a rust inhibitor, which some people use as an internal frame treatment (probably not as good as Frame Saver tho').
Just my 2 "scents" worth.
