It's that time of the year again where road salt it trying to eat your bike. Luckily i got this 3D printed chain cleaner as a birthday present (thx @tinx ). I tried it for the first time today and it worked okay. I think stiffer toothbrush heads might improve the cleaning (i used medium ones).

@ingobecker @jerzone @tinx I use a spray product called Corrosion-X to remove and prevent rust aboard my boat, which lives in a saltwater environment. I think it might be something worth considering for a bike chain or any metal part that is susceptible to rust. It's available in marine stores but it might be available in a good hardware store as well.
