I read a bit ago, someone stated that they used carb cleaner to clean their chain. Last weekend I was cleaning my chain, and I had a can of it in my garage, and it worked extremely well chain was nice and shiny. Is their any harm that this could do to my chain? And it's cheap.. I think I spent $1.50 on that can of carb cleaner when I bought it.


After carb cleaner (just in case anything in it could damage my chain) I put it in a big jar with orange degreaser and let it sit for 15 min.. then shaked it.. then rinsed it off with water and let it dry to make sure I got every bit of dirt off.
