bloody hell this is genius, not sure how ive not stumbled across this before! guy at LBS recommended it, and im converted, dead simple to spray on, the foam stays on the chain cassette instead of dripping down/off like a spray liquid degreaser, spin cranks backwards, then give it a quick brush and clean off with fresh water and it looks like new
no more chain baths for me, 2 minute job and easy to take with you to clean before putting back in the car, well impressed and a big can seems like it would last you ages
Yep, I use that too. Very happy.
My local bunnings does a citrus foam degreaser for about 5 bucks a can that does a similar job. Think it might be a wd40 product. Pretty decent.
Looks an easy cleaning solution just ordered some and the matching sponge, all in £11 on Amazon
I didn't get the sponge though it can't do it any harm I guess, just think a sponge with peak grit would perish after a few spins of the cranks
I just used a muc off brush , though to be honest it had cleaned most off by just spinning the cranks and leaving for a minute or two
Great great stuff, cleans the cassette brilliantly too
Yep use it regularly. Particularly good on road dirt drive trains.
How does it spray? Do you need to be really careful of the rotors?
It's just mint I hardly ever degrease the chain due to the faff involved
Spray this on the chain as you are spinning and job done
Nope DT unbelievably it's save on rotors too, not that if spray there and when you use it you'll see why you won't spray them anyways but it is safe to overspray on them 🙂
It's sort of like a shaving foam type spray but not as foamy if you get me
Tis proper smart though and works
Been using it myself for 6mths, it is fantastic stuff.
Spray on, leave for a couple of mins, pedal backwards with a stiff brush placed on the cassette, hose off - sparkling 8)
Agreed exactly as I did today = revelation and don't mind doing it every ride now
Okay on rotors as well? Tis witchcraft
Right, it's going on my shopping list when I get a new drivetrain in the new year
I've been using Swarfega Jizer for the last few years, its about £7/litre, has the same sort of liquidity as muc off etc, but a lot more potent; yet strong enough to degrease a chain easily without ruining your paint.
Its also water soluble. And a litre bottle has done me about 18 months
I use fairy liquid on a muc-off brush.
I know, I know... Shouldn't use it on bikes etc etc
Been doing it for years. On brakes, on suspension so problems.
Foams up and seems to work as well as the fenwicks stuff.
Brilliant stuff.
Second the Swarfega Jizer - not posh foamy, but cheap and works reet well. Just label the squinty bottle well - it's the same colour as the frame/ general cleaner I have.
jizer is good as a liquid degreaser, i get it from work so have used both, but its not in the same league as ease of use as this foam stuff from fenwicks, this makes what is usually a messy time consuming job into a 2 min job with no mess and no need for a chain bath anymore
to think the amount of times ive not cleaned my chain properly cos i cant be arsed with the faff, now i should have silkly smooth gears every ride 🙂
I like the sound of the foam stuff, i'll be treating myself to some at xmas! I've used jizer before, but found it a bit too potent, and it is so runny that if you use too much it gets into the freehub and washes out the grease. Great for a chain bath, but I use white spirit for that which is cheaper still...
