Default Cleaning products and chain cleaning/lubing.........

What cleaning products do people use to clean their bikes then?

Are there any cheap and cheeful ones that do the job?

Also, whats the best way the clean the chain, as mines really gunked up now. I was going to jet wash it but im thinking that might be a bad idea and too harsh on the o-rings?

Are they any decent chain lubes that dont make an awful mess every time you take the bike out?

Cheers.

i use mukoff on my bike once its all clean i spray scottoil all over the bike allowing to dry on its own makes it easy to clean the next time

i havent had a manky chain but i have been told the the scott oiler is a good tool to keep the chain in good condition

Yeah i was going to buy some of that mukoff stuff from halfords, but decided to go with the Castrol stuff in the spray bottle.

My mate has a scott oiler and his chains as good as new and he hasnt even had to adjust it for well over a year.

scott oil for spraying on afterwards seems good as well, just tried it for the first time
