    Cleaning the chain

    What do you guys use to get everything off of your chain. The manual says kerosene, but I don't have that readily available. Is there anything else that works.

    rocky mountain has a chain scrubber that comes with stuff called sludge away. It works great.

    Remember if you scrub brush to clean the chain, be careful not to reck the o-rings.

    Yea i like that thing a lot. It definately worth the 20 bucks for the scrubber and the sludge away. And when u run out rocky mountain sells more or u can fill it up with any other cleaner like kerosene.
