Es gibt mehrere Ansätze, wie man seine Kette reinigen kann. Keine ist allerdings vollkommen zufriedenstallend. Zwei Ansätze scheinen allerdings recht erfolgversprechend zu sein.

Der klassische Weg, eine Kette zu reinigen, ist es, sie zu demontieren und in Lösungsmittel zu baden und zu schrubben. Dies ist allerdings bei neueren Ketten problematisch. Verbesserte Ritzel und Kettenblätter - wie zum Beispiel [[Shimano]]s [[Hyperglide]] System ermöglichen es, unter Volllast zu schalten, was die Kette extrem belastet. Bei älteren Systemen war der Fahrer gezwungen, beim Schalten Kraft vom Antriebssystem zu nehmen.

Falls Du Deine Kette gewohnheitsmäßig vom Fahrrad abmontierst, um sie zu reinigen, solltest Du einen [[Master Link]] (s. Bild rechts) erwerben und in Deine Kette einsetzen. Bei [[SRAM]]-Ketten werden sie mitgeliefert. Das erlaubt das Abbauen und wieder Einbauen der Kette, ohne einen Niet auspressen zu müssen.

[The 7 or 8 speed SRAM PowerLink works with SRAM and Shimano chains, probably others too. The 9-speed PowerLink works reliably with SRAM chains, but it reportedly may lead to a Shimano chain's jumping forward.
 
The 10-speed SRAM Powerlock (note different name) is good for one-time use only: This results in annoying expense, and also the replacement link is shorter than the other links, and can result in a noticable "clunk" each time it comes around. You're better off sticking with 9 or fewer rear sprockets.
 
You can easily remove a PowerLink by placing the jaws of a needle-nose pliers diagonally across the link to press the side plates out of position. You can use larger-jaw pliers if you form a "Z" of chain links with the PowerLink as the diagonal part. This is easiest if the chain is hanging slack. Park Tool also has a special tool for PowerLink removal, and this is easiest of all.
 
Shimano chains 9-speed and up are only reattachable by inserting a special. new link pin, using a special tool -- John Allen]
