[Closed] Bike cleaning products

good 'proactively cleaning' product for the drivetrain?

Of all the wax lubes I've used Finish Line Teflon Dry seems to lube for longest before the chain goes dry and rattly, chain has to be 100% de-greased + dry before first application tho. I take a small bottle on multi-day rides where I can't clean the drivetrain and need something that will go on and leave a clean chain when worn off. Not great in the wet but not as bad as some other wax-based lubes.

Any tips for a cheap and cheerful degreaser? Something like the post above mine?

Bosh! 1l of Fenwicks concentrate ordered.

...and a Ritchey Torque key to put my order over £20 on Evans, so I could use a £5 off voucher. I guess this is why i am not an economist, spending an extra £16 to get a fiver off. 8)

white spirit for chain & cogs, fairy liquid & hot water for everything else. wipe down with wet wipes for the bits you missed, spray with gt85 to disperse water, lube chain etc with oil of your choice.

repeat after every off road ride or couple of weeks for road.

That's the chain cleaner sorted.
