Ok, so I know I'm going to get flamed for even doing this, but what the heck! 
I went to the bike shop on Sunday and they didn't have any chain cleaner. I really wanted to get it cleaned over the weekend, so I stopped by the local auto parts store and was looking at their various cleaners they had in stock and noticed brake cleaner.
Since it's not supposed to harm rubber, like brake hoses, and is supposed to dry without residue, I figured it would be ok for the chain. So...I went ahead and got some and cleaned the chain. The good part is that the can was half the price of chain cleaner at the shop, and bigger as well.
Anyone have any opinions about using brake cleaner on the chain?
