40 notes for something to clean the chain? Spend the dosh on something else and clean the chain with some parafin on a rag.

It's definitely worth it. Cleans it a lot better than you could by hand and is ten times quicker and ten times easier. It's a good investment

wd40 and a rag for me.

My dad has only ever used WD40 aswell, and his chains last quite a while (25,000 miles). He just rubs the chain with a rag. But then he;s a fair-weather biker, so dosn't need the deep cleaning action of paraffin in the same way his all-weather biking son (me) does. Plus he uses wurth chain lube, I use gunky, messy stuff.

Actualy, you know what, im gonna conduct an experiment this week. Get some rubber tubing (we got plenty at uni) and leave some in paraffin and some in WD40 at the back of my fume hood. See what happens.

I'm not going by experience. That's just what everyone has ever told me about chain cleaning so I never used it

Been using WD-40 and a rag for 20+ years, never had a problem.

Clean between the plates as well.
Cleanest chain around in about 20 mins.

wd40 to the best of my knowledge never hurt anything, its a great cleaner.
