Yes....Have you ever got your ponytail caught up in the chain whilst de-greasing.... and if so how did you remedy this situation?

I prefer non organic.

Yes, my question is, do you have your father or mother's eyes?

@norbu1987 A general lubricant would be waxy or greasy but bike chain lubricants are different (ie not waxy and with little greasy properties) because they are exposed to dirt. A greasy or waxy lube would pick up AND RETAIN the dirt particles, allowing dirt to mix within itself and thereby possibly penetrating the links. A more water-like lube would just slough it away. This is why chain lube and general bike lube are 2 different things with 2 different properties.

Helpful video, thank you.
Next time, turn the music down while people are talking. That'd be even more helpful.

its kinda all chemical based which might rust or eat the chain and wont live long and i don't understand why lubricator looks like water coz it might dry soon-isn't lube should be little wax or greasy- which might stay longer and smoother.

@asored2000 obvious but unfortunately not. Because the gunk that really wears the chain is that which starts to get in between the links and also that which has formed as a thick paste. the chain cleaner has a good brushes forcing onto it, which really helps work all this out. Hope this answers your question.

Hey- could you just soak a rag in degreaser and run the chain thru it or do you really need the chain cleaner?
