Yes I have used his great chain cleaning method ever since I read it http://sheldonbrown.com/chainclean.html

Very sad news

I too followed his chain cleaning instructions religiously at least twice a week

Genius though the man was, a little bit extreme completely disassembling the chain to clean it no?!

A real shame. A great man, but best of all a great eccentric.

Doesn't everyone clean their chains like that
