Put cleen green in a spray bottle. Spray on , use a bottle brush to get the dirt off then hose down. Go and buy some decent lube though. I use finish line dry lube with teflon. A 150 ml bottle lasts me about a year. R 100 or so.

Diesel. Cheaper than anything, and degreases like a champ!

Engine oil or a mixture of general purpose household oil (sewing machine oil) and chainsaw oil. I would say it works better than most commercial lubes, but that would start a religious war.

 

For cleaning, I just use car shampoo. Prepsol and Clean Green if I'm cleaning the drive train.

 

Clean green on your drivetrain

Question: How do you get to the grime in your rear cassette?

Solvent/degreaser of choice in a small flat container placed under cassette and a stiff paint brush. Or take cassette off and place in container. You'll still need the paint brush.
