I was reading the Home Improvement/DIY magazine and they recommend this brush to clean the chain. Just thought someone here might be interested.

I had thought about getting a brush like that for cleaning the chain. But then I reconsidered, since most shop brushes uses stiff bristles. I was concerned that the O-rings in the chain might be damaged from stiff brush bristles.

i thought there was 2 sides to this... some don't use the brush because they say that it pushes all the dirt and crap further into the joints...?

I'd have to feel one in person... I just soak the shit out of it with Kerosene and use a super soft toothbrush for any grit.
