Bad advise Joe ?, I said drop the wheel and soak the chain, that is
the right way , sure there are lots of safer solvents, but you use
alot and gas is cheap.

Ask you local fire department or your insurance company what they think
of your idea. It is a Buba idea. Not too swift.

Harmfull to what the chain? no.

Some chains have rubber seals. They can be damaged by gasoline. I
don't believe they are in common use.

Harmfull to
other parts . I havn`t had a problem, can you be specific, not
generalise.

How about your face. See above.

You say to clean chain on.

No I said "They even have chain cleaners so you don't need to remove the
chain to clean it."


Well I will tell you why
this is the best way, Ive tried it on, then unhappy soaked it, the
crud removed my " Clean " chain was amasing.

All else being equal I agree that removing the chain can result in a
better cleaning than not removing it. However the convenience of being able
to clean it in place will often mean it gets cleaned more often.

Tell ya what Joe , Next time you clean a chain clean it your way ,
When your done cleaning soak it in a clean solvent of you choise, Only
then will you understand . The easiest way to keep from replacing
expensive chains is extensive cleaning.
