Default Cleaned my chain and sprocket !

my chain started getting rusty so i cleaned my chain and sprocket with a wire brush, some wire wool, some auto sole, some wd 40 and some de greaser.

This is how it came out:

Attachment 3568 in the process

PICT1429.jpg after

You think thats good, Mr Speirs got all racial on my chain the other week and using it as an example of how crap his looked, I was not in the least bit impressed, that was short lived though, as, after a bit of parrfin, a toothbrush and 5 mins of my time, after 10 months of ownership, I found out for the first time that I had a gold chain on my bike
