Talk:Bicycles/Maintenance and Repair/Cleaning parts

There are also devices that you can use to clean your chain. I've not really had much help with these, as they just get the solution mucky, but chains stay dirty because of the dirty gears. I suggest sticking with a rag. - RealGrouchy 02:05, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

bicycle chains
To clean chains I take off the chain and let it sit overnight in a solvent (like gasoline).
