Cleaning the Chain

[Kano]

What are you using to clean your chain? I've never had to use anything but soap and water to clean my hands after using citrus degreaser and then lubing.

Actually, soap and water did the job, once I added my scrub brush. All the nooks and crannies in my fingers just wanted to hang onto their crud!

Has anyone ever tried putting their bike in the bathtub and using a handheld shower head to spray it down? As long as the water's not turned on too far and the shower head's not set to, like, hard massage or something, the bearings should be ok. What concerns me is the condition the tub might be in afterwards. I'm seriously considering trying this, though. Does it sounds totally crazy?

I don't know how this will work on your bike, but I used to do it with the high chair when the girls were little. It worked really well on dried strained peas!
