+1 with wurth's
Iv tried Muc off before and that wasnt bad but did leave a bit of crap on the wheel but not alot tbh, then when I ran out of both I used some Holts stuff, OMG thats soo crap, went for about a 20 mile ride and the rim and swinger were black! then got the wurth stuff and never looked back

I usually alternate petrol and water to wipe the crap off my rims, nothing has worked easier so far.
Anyone thought of making a bottom chain guard?

Kerosene / Parafin is the best stuff for cleaning the chain with, and the wheels. It doesn't displace as much grease from behind the o-rings as WD40 etc do.
I usually use gearbox oil on an X/O ringed chain, just clean the chain and apply a light film to stop surface rust. Dont' have any fling off.
I've got a can of Putoline chain wax that you boil the chain in (non ringed chains) that I use for tradition chains.. fantastic stuff and no flingoff either... bit more work taking the chain off but worth it imo. Will be using a non-ringed chain next time again.

But if these were brought back all the companies that sell you cleaning products would loose a lot of monies
