Chain cleaning
 
Hope you all had a good christmas.

This will have been asked many times I'm sure, but what the best method for cleaning the chain when its still on the bike.

I use PJ1 chain lube which is great for anti fling but it builds up over time attracting dust and bits etc.

Chain is still in good condition but needs a good clean and I dont want to damage the 'O' rings so any suggestions would be welcome, thanks.

personally i use a kettenmax chaine cleaner with a proporietary aerosol chain cleaner with an old bath towel, I use a jam jar to collect the resultant goo and a spread out pizza box under the length of the chain. I then leave it a while before re-lubing with Wurth Dry Lube. I couldnt get on with PJ1 the areosols always seemed to leak all over the bike, floor and me.

Good old parafin, It wont damage the o rings in the chain

Yes I use parafin aswell, I have a renthal setup so it's easy to pop the chain off and hang it in one of those plastic containers you get your chinese in.
I use Wurth dry lube so the chain looks nice and clean and no fling at all.

Parafin and an old towel here too, oh and Castrol chain wax.
