I use them to clean all sorts of microscope parts, and man do they clean well for really hard to clean things.
I can imagine dropping a chain and a cassette in there and turning it on with a good bit of degreaser and water and taking it out nice and sparkling. It seems it would be a lot less messy/toxic than a Safety Kleen tank and contract.
Oh and
the more I think about it
the more amazed I am at the Ronde v2.0
really - blown away
crazy delay on the impact
it was insanely awesome
huge props to Rosey and Chip and Wilcox and the rest of the crew that made it happen.

Is the new found "amazement" at the ronde a different way saying: "I feel stupid for saying that getting dropped at Battenkill was more fun"?
You've seriously never used an ultrasonic cleaner for bike parts before? I had one about ten years ago but it broke and I never bothered to replace it. A few words of advice: scrape/brush all the heavy crud off before tossing the parts in; Don't use highly volatile solvents - my experience is that the US bath tends to accelerate the evaporation.
No - Matt, that comment about getting dropped was accurate at the time. I was too emotionally wrapped up in trying to get back home (my mother is in town visiting from WA) to spend time with the family to realize how cool it really was.
And ZEN.
I've used it to clean all sorts of microscope bits. And yeah, leave em running and they get wicked hot. Important to make sure you don't use anything volatile in there (for any amount of time), or start with fresh cold water. I just hadn't thought to use them for the bike stuff.
