I'm still wondering what product to use to clean the chain ring/housing and chain itself prior to re-lubricating.
I'm considering a trip to an auto-parts store for an engine degreaser or similar product. Again, any suggestions?
It depends on how extreme your conditions are.
Here in MN, in the summer, I degrease the chain with undiluted "simple green" then use a teflon lube.
In the winter, degreasing then lubing is a useless process. I apply finish line wet lube to help displace the existing grime.
