I use to use paint thinner. Haven't had anything work better! You can keep the dirty old stuff and reuse it too. I will probably pick up some more environmentally friendly stuff soon though. The hippies are wearing off on me. lol.
So, you disassemble your chain every time? I just take off the rear wheel and use the slack in the chain, take two or three rotations of the chain, but then I don't feel like im wearing out the master link. +1 for old toothbrush
