Not-so-hypothetical situation: After driving all day with a bike in the back of my pickup, the chain
is sometimes dirty, just from highway dust, or perhaps that and a combination of that and whatever
it picked up during the last few bike rides.
Between fishing and boating, I've already got too damn many little maintenance toys stashed
under/behind the seats. Do I really need one of the fancy chain cleaning gadgets I see at bike
shops, or is an old toothbrush and a can of spray silicone enough to rinse off dirt? I'm assuming
that sometimes, I'll need to clean the chain in a place where I have no access to a garden hose.
Matter of fact, I live in an apartment. I *never* have access to a garden hose. -Doug
