Clean grimy stuff off fast, as it's a lot harder to get off once it's caked and dry on!

Sorry to jump in but it's about time I cleaned my drive chain. Therefore, what's the best products to clean the chain and gears and then are there any good suggestions on lubricant?

I have found a good, sturdy bristle nail brush to be very good as well, especially for removing dirt in the rear cassettes.

Thanks for all the replies - there's no issue with delaying the mickling is there? I'll be buying some decent chain lube tomorrow so the rest of the bike has had a clean tonight. Just one more question - cleaning the cogs themselves - will mickling deal with that in as much as taking the grit away from the important parts?

There's a reason I posted this in the beginners forum :blink:
