I would only add this. Once you have the chain clean and before you apply the lube shoot the chain with some Brake Clean of some sort. This will get rid of the last bit of cleaner so your lube will stick better. Don't worry Brake Cleaner will NOT hurt those little o-rings in the chain. In fact it is a great cleaner for all kinds of greasy things and leaves no residues. Just be careful and DO NOT get it on plastics. It will ruin them in short order. fasthair Good job.
