I used a toothbrush before I got the grungie.

I've read that WD40 is not great for your orings.

Be safe and use a chain cleaner or kerosene.

I'm getting my new tires mounted on sunday and am planning to soak the chain in kerosene and clean the shit out of it and my sprockets.

Thats a lie. Directly from WD40...they say it WILL NOT harm o-ring. I've used it for years with zero issue.

I agree Marko ....I've been using it to clean all my chains since 1986.
