Hi guys it came out in another post that some of us uses eco-friendly products to maitain their bikes.
I know not all eco products are good but the less chemical we disperse the better it is.
I personally use for the chain: Eco Sheep MOUNTAIN SHEEP – Lanolin-based, Eco-friendly Bike Chain Oil for Mountain Bikes
and for the general cleaning the products from Spin Power (a NC company).

What do you use? suggestions?

Simple Green for cleaning, Spin Power for wax & brake cleaning, and White lightning for the chain.

+1 for Simple Green. It is my go-to for a general shop cleaner.

Someone mentioned paint thinner jokingly... i'm not tryin to take a dump on the eco topic, but that jogged my memory.

I recently used paint thinner (odorless mineral spirits) to degrease my chain   That sucker was spotless inside and out. Dissolved the built up chain wax completely. I found the cleanest way to do it is to remove the chain and put it in a quart mason jar, dump in some mineral spirits, close the lid and shake it up. May need to repeat with fresh mineral spirits for a second round. Remove chain, wipe dry with a clean rag, blow out with compressed air or let air dry overnight, add fresh lube and its good as new.

Obviously be responsible with mineral spirits. I find that if you let the used stuff sit for a day or two, all the dissolved contaminants settle at the bottom of the jar. Then you can siphon off the clear mineral spirits with a syringe and deposit in a clean jar and re-use. Let the contaminants jar sit with no lid for a few days. The remaining spirits will evaporate and you can trash the contaminants and clean the jar. Maybe not the most eco friendly option, but HIGHLY effective.

This isn't something I would say is necessary very often, most of my chain cleanings only require simple green and a chain brush. But if you get caught out on a rainy day in Pisgah and get that gritty sediment penetrated throughout the pins and rollers, this is a good way to reset and start from scratch.
