Please may I ask your advice? What's the best device for cleaning mountain
bike chains? I'd like it to be cheap and to work without me having to take
the chain off.


Orange cleaner in a Pedro's Chain Machine, though if it's real ugly I
prefer to remove the chain (Powerlink) and use lacquer thinner followed by
a thorough re-oiling. Sometimes, though, a fresh chain is the answer.

I have yet to find any citrus based cleaners that get the job done on my
chain, without scrubbing the hell out of it.
