And yes, that year-old chain is stretched to hell and actively destroying my brand new cassette. Don’t shame me for it - look how shiny it is!

I used to pull my chain and cassette, and toss them in a sonic bath with degreaser. Let them buzz for a half hour, comes out amazingly clean.
What about the pulleys? They gunk up so bad with oil lubricants…
Suppose you could do the same with them, but I usually just replaced them every once in a while. The cogs were only plastic, and they would get pretty torn up from the abuse of mountain biking.
