I attempt to keep my chain in good working order by regular cleaning. Nothing time consuming or laborious, just the quick rag and wipe after a ride or few.
After a few months I decided it needed a good spring clean so used a degreaser from a well-known national retailer. Rinsed it off and thought there was still quite a lot of muck on it, so gave it a bit more welly with a 'Professional Chain Cleaner', as Morgan Blue like to call it. I was amazed at how much more black gunk came off, wipe after wipe!!
So, was the initial degreaser just rubbish or is it possible to over-clean and degrease a chain too much?
