I may have committed a schoolboy error. I took my chain off to clean the othernight and decided to clean my front sprocket/chainring area with a spray degreaser. Didn't put any lube on should I have? What problems could the degreaser have caused and how do i fix them? On my ride today didn't feel as smooth as usual though I might be imagining it. Any help would be much appreciated thanks. Ps i did lube the chain and that feels fine.

How do i lube or grease the crank bearings?
You can't easily.

But neither can you degrease crank bearings easily, certainly not with a hand spray degreaser which it sounds like you used.
