chain gunk - how to remove?
nother quick question...
what lifts heavy buildup of chain gunk the best?
i'm mostly talking about the big lumps of shit that builds behind the front sprocket cover....
i've tried degreaser and that removes the loose stuff but not the heavy duty gunk.

Scrape out the majority and then scrub it down with degreaser and a brush, and hose off.
Use Kero on your chain though

Can't argue with the results though...

Found in the cleaning goods isle of your local supermarket, Preen - The Great Unstainer with UltraLift® is a definite must-have for your garage. Why? Because it contains "Concentrated Cleaning Power For Tough Stain Removal", that's why.

Kero, Wd40, preen, diesel. Most of them do the job, with varying degrees of elbow work involved.

Best thing I've found is just the basic $2 degreaser in aerosol cans sold at Supercheap, Bunnings, etc.
Spray it on, hose it off.

Another thing to remember is that Kero will seep into your tyre.
This can be bad.

Use clean plain motor oil to lube your chain, just brush it on regular. Deep clean build ups with a hose. Too easy! my chain & sprockets have gone 50,000 & still going strong.

Have used CRC sitting around in the shed before, probably a bit hexy to go and buy for purpose though.

kero and toothbrush +1
put in on a rearstand so the dripping kero misses your tyre.
and just goes on the ground
and then the missus yells at you
