Not so hard to clean if you have a fixed gear bike.

@Ghostkid202 Yes, very true.

Don't use wd40, it doesn't last very long and is a very thin lubricant, better off using something designed as a chain lubricant.

Centripetal force acts inwards, not outwards. You are thinking of centrifugal force, which doesn't exist.

i used to clean my chain with my bike upside down!

dry lube or wax lube i like dry because it doesn't collect as much dirt but seems dry but i don't like to use wet lube while on the trails because of the dirt collecting on the drivtrain which is better

i use a shoelace to get in between the cogs and works really well

what cleaner are you using

I used my girlfriends thong, and man did she get peeved. I suppose I should have had her take them off first.

@thebiketube wd40 is more of a degreaser really .. if u use it to clean ur bike then lube it up , it actually works very well
