Dood it's Sunday no bike shops open today or tomorrow either. They are like barber shops around here, open on Saturday closed on Monday.

What type of brush would you recommend from Wally World or Home Depot?

Only kidding...

An ordinary small paint brush...Something like 3/4 or 1 inch...

 

[Don Hardcastle]

A better question would have been soft bristled, stiff bristled or what?

[bigdr]

A stiffy ...

bigdr - OMG Basil Brush... used to watch that show in England when I was a kid. Now, that brings back some memories. The BBC had some pretty wild shows back in the 70's.

+101...when I need some brush, but I don't have one available, I usually grab from bathroom...

but, I got one from auto parts store, parts cleaner brush...good use for it, and about the cleaning the chain, I'll use the WD40 all the way...no need brush in action...just spray the 40 and wipe it off with rags...

Same here--WD-40 and and old rag. All the old shid comes right off.

I just cleaned my chain this weekend. Used a stiff plastic bristled brush with deisel fuel (could not for the life of me find anyone that carried kerosene) By the end, the brush was pretty beat up, and was no longer useful. Perhaps if my chain were not so dirty it may have held up better...

Pseudo, first of all nice avatar. My wife is a graphic artist and an Adobe certified trainer as well. She thought is was nice work. I can't draw a straight line with a ruler.

You can find kerosene at Lowe's in the paint section. About $8 a gallon. I used a synthetic 1" wide paint brush that I cut off with scissors down to about an inch long. Worked great, I used WD-40 before and I will tell you this, same procedure 2 differences:

1. The kerosene did a better job of cleaning.
2. Less "fling-off" of the chain wax.

JMHO
