I usually like to pull the chain off the bike (really easy with a quick link), and soak it in either soapy water or some degreaser . I'll then give it a bit of a scrub with a tooth brush. The goal is to get a lot of old oil and all of the dirt off the chain. The old oil isn't as big a deal as any grit or dirt. Dirt can really make the chain wear quickly.

Or will a soapy-dishrag, wipe-and-spray-off be enough? Hey, Nathan, does a “chain cleaning” mean a serious removal of the previous lube? Or will a soapy-dishrag, wipe-and-spray-off be enough?

And I want to believe that, like me, you would wear it all day without realizing it. I love the shirt size sticker left on the shirt.
