You will need to cleanup the hubs and spoke afterward too. I like to use an old rag and place the edge in-between the spokes and sprocket, then repeat for each sprocket pair until all the gunk is cleaned out.
Thanks for the reinforcement of the tip from John. I will be looking into this as soon as I have time. Thanks again for the suggestion to follow his advice, I appreciate all the help on this.
