Last week I cleaned both a Campy chain, and a SRAM chain, using Simple Green in my ultrasonic cleaner.
Both were getting their first cleaning since new, and both had a couple hundred miles on them.
The Campy chain took about *three* times as long in the cleaner to get all the gunk off.
Whatever Campy is using is *tenacious*!
