I had to choose between a new chain or a full drivetrain clean for my creaky old mountain bike

Went with a deep clean using my Park Tool brushes and some citrus degreaser, and the noise stopped completely. What's your go-to method for a quiet drivetrain?

Remember my buddy's gravel bike that sounded like a bag of nails? He soaked the chain in a jar of mineral spirits, shook it hard. Then he used an old toothbrush on the cassette. Worked like a charm for months.

That mineral spirits shake is a classic move.
