Warm water + dishwashing liquid...
Works great on chain, wheels, engine cases and whole bike in general. Just keep it away from prolinged contact with steel.
Cool.

I have used Simple Green mixed with hot water. Simple green is a very good de-greaser. Just don't use gasoline or kerosene. It will make the foam break down much faster than it would otherwise. There are also commercially available sprays for thsi purpose, but I found the Simple Green to work just as well and be much cheaper.
