So i think i've essentially sorted my list out, i think i need a HUGE tub of generic degreaser, some isopropyl alcohol, and some lube and this should sort me out completely. Anything else would i really need on top of those?

Where can i buy cheap bulk degreaser from? I'm not after named stuff because its all the same surely? Isoprypl alcohol i've not seen many places, ebay seems a pretty good source though. And finally lube, what should i buy, i'm after dry (PTFE based) and we, but tey're all different prices and claim different things, any recommendations, or shall i just try and buy the cheapest?

Basically i'll use the degreaser in a small spray gun to degrease the cassette, chain rings and derailleur, and then leave some in a bottle to leave a chain in overnight. I'll use the isopropyl to clean my rotors (unless theres something else i can use?). And the lube to lube everything nice and evenly up again :) Am i missing anything?
