Just remember to wash the plastic and paint areas after when you finish cleaning up.

Id be dubious about using Gunk on a chain, as it can rot plastics rubbers etc...
Gunk is brilliant stuff for degreasing areas which are in constant supplies of oil/ lube or hammered by weather etc.

It's done, the chain and sprockets are sparkling. Took the front sprocket cover off and god knows how the sprocket was even turning...

I have grease everywhere even on one nipple... F*ck knows what happened, but I don't care.

It's now been sprayed back up with some Wurth spray and ready for Mayday....
