I've been doing a lot of detail/maint. on my bike and I was curious, I have a 630 non o-ring chain, I want to clean some of the rust off, I have a jug of metal rescue and thought I could soak the chain to clean it up before I put things back together, sprockets are good and not undercut so I just want to put off another purchase, this won't hurt the chain? It will get a complete oiling after a de-rust. I know its just cosmetic but there are some links that are stiffer than others, I've been running the chain for a year.

If you HAVE to keep using it, use kerosene or old bad gas that's no good for anything else and a stiff wire brush. After using the brush wipe clean with clean kero or bad gas and soak for a day in oil.Comment

Once you have cleaned it, measure it to find out if it's too worn or not. Don't just guess, measure it. If the links are not loose, the chain is not too long, and it still fits the sprocket tightly I'd use it.Comment

When it is time to replace, whats the difference between the 630 and 530 chain? I know all the sprockets will be replaced as well reguardless of chain type.Comment
