| I've been riding mountain bikes for years, though I am hardly an expert, I can give you some of my experience.  Spray degreaser on the chain with the rear wheel off.  Really soak it. I just use Simple Green. Scrub the chain with a brass brush. Let it dry then put some lube on the chain I use White Lightning. Let it sit for a few hours before riding.
