    Saw this from a link on Facebook. Thought it worth reposting.

    April fools joke.

    I just heavily coat the chain with lube, too much, and it washes off the grime and lubes it at the same time. Then I wipe off the excess, and I'm done.

    So how does it work? Apparently, the acidity of the brine immediately breaks down the hardened grease and sludge on the chain, but it's also mild enough that it doesn't affect the O-rings at all.
    This is the part that would fool unsuspecting people, heh.
