I'm taking my bike over to Gunterpots tomorrow so he can help with my chain/wheel alignment problem. I wanted to clean the chain thoroughly before going over so it's not covered in old lube and gukk and stuff.
Can I use white spirit and a toothbrush on it without damaging it? I can use clean lube on it straight away afterwards. Failing that, what can I use that I'm likely to have around the house? Car screen wash? Washing up liquid? Silicone spray? Polish?
Obviously chain degreaser is the best choice, but am poor now until next week!
