I got one at Christmas and haven't worked out how it works til I watched your video. Looks cheap and tacky but I have to say it also looks like it gets the job done without spraying crap all over as well, I always make a mess on back wheel, floor, hands........
Not a bad review mate. i don't go in for that muc off stuff for a few reasons... 1. It sounds too much like F**k off. 2. Yeah I seen their video... and I've done the math, total spend is about 100 quid just to clean a chain if you buy into their gimmick. I think I'll stick to my BikeIt chain cleaner which is round so it has a better surface coverage but also the brushes penetrate into the gaps in the chain so it gets a proper clean.
I think that sounds like what hepcat has just linked me to, I may give that a try, as getting the outer links that face to the right hand side is quite tricky. Tcrsmf
Yep thats exactly it mate, only mine is branded by Bikeit. I did have a video up a while ago so you could see it in action but unfortunately I think its one of the ones that got purged a couple of years ago when i deleted a ton of videos by mistake.
grundge brush mate!! or w.e. its called works well you have to put in some elbow grease but wayyy better than that or even a toothbrush ...save the toothbrush for the last nitty gritty..sorry about the £12
Chris Kyran this is the process of looking after a new chain, finding out what worked best, I just happened to record this as there wasn't many vids on how well they work. This one didn't do a good enough job for my liking so I haven't used it again.
Seeing this at the beginning of the video I thought it would be quite good, sadly not. Thanks for that, I find using normal wd40 and an old sock personally does a better job.
TheLoneWolfRider It's only for cleaning as it's a solvent. I get old (unused) engine oil, coat the chain in that, scrub it off and generally clean up the chain using an old sock. I then use wd40 to get the chain extra clean and then wipe that off. Then I recoat the chain with engine oil and wipe off the excess. I run a scottoiler using the same engine problems and I've had to adjust it once in 6k miles (quarter of a turn on the adjuster nuts)
That's a myth mate. WD'40 contains kerosene which is the main ingredient used in WD40. It's great for cleaning and does no harm to your chain but because it's a releasing agent, not a lubricant it's no good as a lube.

Glad it helped! I may try it again next time, a bit slower than this time. My chain was in a real state aswell.

I think a small brush would take some beating

TheLoneWolfRider looked crap I use a tooth brush an rag since had new chain a sprockets. Use the dry lube sweet👌🏻
Chris Kyran yeah it's not great the bristles are too harsh for o-rings I think.

Nooo wd40 destroys o-rings!

@@TheLoneWolfRider No, it doesn't, I've tested this horseshit, put about by the "chain cleaner" businesses.
@@TheLoneWolfRideryou can’t fix stupid brother
WD40 is bad for orings. Just use the muc off chain cleaner much better stuff.
Wd40 is a brand, clearly says chain cleaner on the can, it’s not the same product as the original blue ones
