Cleaning your bike chain

Lets start with the basics. After riding anywhere, your chain is bound to have attracted dust. Here is how to clean it.

Stuff you'll be needing:
- Containers
- Rags
- Cleaning brushes
- Solvents/Degreaser

(1) Remove the chain (coming soon)

(2) Take the chain outside somewhere well ventilated

(3) Place the chain in a container, and fill the container up with the degreasing solvent so that it just covers all of the chain

(4) After two minutes, take the chain out and scrub with a brush, so that most of the grime is brushed off

(5) Wipe dry with a rag, and put the chain back on your bike

(6) Lubricate the chain (coming soon)
