How do yall get it off of...well...everything? My chain guard and swingarm are covered with it.

 

got a rag


then get some wd-40

spray wd-40 into rag

wipe off chain lube

repeat

 

I was wondering if wd-40 would work. It's good for all kinds of things. Thanks

 

mineral spirits do a REAL good job too.

 

Another vote for wd-40. Works quite well for this IMO.

 

I've been using Dupont Teflon Chain Lube for while now DuPont Teflon Chain Lube - webBikeWorld

I used to have lube flying all over before, but now I don't. And chain is always clean too.

Used dryer sheets works wonder on taking those ugly lubes on bike parts

 

When you re-lube, put the lube on from the top of the bottom run.
Then centrifical energy will force it into the chain instead of flinging it off.

Another endorsement for WD-40 as a cleaner for excess lube splatter, as well.

WD-40 is FAR FAR too expensive to use as a chain cleaner. The bit of WD40 that makes it good at cleaning chains is the solvent, the solvent in it is just white spirit. In reality, white spirit is too volatile for for rubber O ring chains really although most people can use it regularly without ill effect.

Chain manufacturers (DID, Honda OEM etc) recommend kerosene/paraffin, that is what I use, works really well and is about 1/20th of the price of WD40. In the UK the easiest way to find it is in DIY shops sold as outdoor lamp fuel, probably a lot more available in the US. Just buy some kerosene, use a bowl and an old paintbrush and agitate the crud. Also consider making one of these:
