I have actually done my chain again today.

I had no petrol left, so I used White Sprit.

Its like BRAND NEW once again.

Oh and I use a toothbrush. Works wonders.

I have a nice collection of toothbrushes in my toolbox.

They are a vital part of my tool collection.

yeah....I always used some of those ultra cheapo toothbrushes you get in tesco, they're only 19p I think. Just use them once and bin ut afterwards but, I've just bought one of those bike chain brushes too, not used it yet though. It looks like it'll make life easier though.

As for cleaning my bike. I used to use Autoglym motorcycle cleaner and polish but, I now use the muc-off stuff. I got a set of the muc-off brushes a while back to but, tbh tje only one that I find useful is the one for doing your wheels, as you can do both sides of your spokes at once and it gets into the fiddley bits really well.

Not plaque no. But it will clean deep down into all the little areas that a shitty Tesco Value 19p Toothbrush cant.

And I don't buy these Colgate jobbies purposely for my chain. They are my old personal toothbrushes!

I change my toothbrush every 3 months (as you are supposed to) and chuck the old one in my toolbox.

Shame I don't have one of them £100 Oral B Sonic Pulsar things. Bet that would do your chain nice. Hahahahahaha.

those thugs would clean deep where other toothbrushes dont! You also get three different movement directions!

I would NEVER use anything else other than FULLY SYNTHETIC oil.

I don't see the point using semi syn or even horrible mineral oil just to save a few pence???
