[QUOTE="RM_guy, post: 656836, member: 20652"] The cleaners won't hurt the chain but if you have an O-ring chain and you pressure wash it, water will get past the o-rings and rust it and lock it up solid. For cleaning an o-ring chain, spray the cleaner on the chain and let it set for a while. Then take a soft nylon brush and scrub it. Rinse it off with a hose (no pressure) and then spray it with WD40 or lube it right away. Personally I don't use an O-ring chain. I spray it with cleaner and pressure wash the snot out of it. That gets all the crap out of the inside and outside. Then right away I spray the chain with WD40 to chase away all the water, then I lube it later. Since there are no o-rings to trap the water, it all drains out (with the help of the WD40) and you have a nice clean chain. I get at least 18 months out of my chains and I ride in all conditions. When you lube it use a dry film moly lube (I highly recommend MX-1000) and you won't get that greasy build up. [/QUOTE]
