many thanks for advice

They are £2 and last ages. I just use a Fenwicks one.
fair enough-how do you clean it?
Most rides just a clean off with muc-off (or equivalent, spray that on the sponge and give the chain a few rotations), then re-lube with squirt. I'd give it a blast with the pink fenwicks every few rides in winter with the clamp on chain cleaner also, then the sponge.
thanks mcnultycop
my fenwicks sponge is impregnateed with black grease now-I saw on a video somewhere that they can be cleaned
I don't think Mrs would tolerate it in the washing machine....

I use [url= http://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-heavy-duty-degreaser-5ltr/88668 ]magic fairy shampoo[/url] which works extremely well for cleaning anything from cassettes to chains and sponges too. Just don't get it into your bearings unless you intend to regrease them afterwards! 🙂
excellent 😀
I give the sponge a quick rinse off at the end, and they are lasting Ok at the moment.
I'm pretty sure the Fenwicks cleaning products are water soluble so if you use those they should just rinse out.
Met the brothers that run Fenwicks at the Tour of Britain - lovely lads.
