Cleaning chains (grrr)...

["Paul Bulfin" <x.tek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steve,

I have had good results of late with a clever device called a "Chain
Scrubber" using good ol' kerosene. I bought it through Whipps Alloy Products
here in Australia and a quick search just found it at :
http://www.chaparral-racing.com/chaparral-performance/x.htm
It even comes with a cleaning solution in the States. No mess, no fuss and a
clean chain in next to no time :-)) It may not always prove as effective if
you have a heavy buildup of lube residue on the chain and it doesn't do much
to clean the sprockets, but it's still the best $28.00 I've ever spent on a
bike accessory! Apart from that, I use a small-ish paintbrush and kerosene
(never any other solvent which may damage the o-rings) with an old paint
tray to catch the runoff and lotsa newspaper :-(

What do the listers prefer to use for cleaning their chains.

What are some of the various techniques used to clean chains?

Is their an easy way to do a thorough job that does not require removing
the chain?
