Just a small question...

Would it be better to clean the rear cog-set on the bike rather than
take them off and soak them in solvent etc?

IMO there's no point takign them off. Anything that's on there, you should
be able to get off whilst it's on the bike. Loads more gunk will be in the
chain. Lots of little nooks for it to get caught in you see.

Remove wheel, leave cogs on. Clean with large plastic brush. I have one
from Pedros which has long bristles. Do it somewhere where you won't
mind depositing greasy dirt, like in the road in front of your house.

Better still, the road in front of your neighbours house!! I remove my cogs
from time to time but just use a rag to polish them up, I try to avoid the
solvents. Mostly though the long brush method works great for me.

Take it off the wheel for a real close inspection
don't forget the hub. Now clean, lube the inside and install.
