'red' diesel & an old toothbrush (only last a few weeks though, then fall apart) and an old rag.

Scrub chain with diesel soaked toothbrush to get gunk out.
Let it drip out, onto rags, or newspapers.
Use wet, not soaking, diesel enhanced rag to wipe/lubricate chain


I bought 3/4 gallon 9 years ago,& still have a lot left, despite dealing with 5 bikes

NB; this method is no good for bikes that live indoors, as wives/girlfriends don't really like the smell of diesel in a room........

Red Diesel!!!!!!!!!! You'll get stopped at a checkpoint, be fined £500 and have your bike confiscated and crushed!!!!!

'scuse me butting in as the newbie. Met these guys at an event I worked at in September and everyone that used their products rated them very highly. I can't say I've tried them out yet as I've only just got my bike, but I'll certainly be getting some. They're decent chaps too...
