Any particular reccomendations or just the regural supermarker / hardware store stuff? I think only the gear brush is kinda specific.
Also, to reply to all of you above, i live in an appartment and i will be cleanong the bike at a balcony, so mineral spirits will not be my way to go for disposal and admittedly not so eco.
i ll se if i can find a Simple Green equivalent here for degreasing.
