My cleaning process went like this.

1: Remove chain (after 20 minutes)
2: Try but fail to fold bike.

Break for lunch.

3: Reinstall chains to fold to keep the bike.
4: Break for work.
5: Removed chains, Soak and shake in degreaser. Scrub with brush (didnt help much)
Wash and rinse in hot water.
Dry with hair dryer.
6: Floss cassette
7: Spot cleaning on jockey wheels and chainring.
8: Install Chain , Lube Finish Line Dry Lube. (Squirted everywhere).
9: Went to test ride the bike because in point 3 after I reinstalled the chain there was some chain noise.
10: With experience now , lube (gently,dropbydrop) individual roller.
11: (Now)Bike is waiting for lube to sit in. Doubt i will need to clean excess lube as it would have dried on by tomorrow.


Thanks guys for all the input/advices/suggestions you shared. :)
