Tirox Chain Cleaner...Good stuff!
I always though the Tirox Chain Cleaner Kit was just a gimmick, but I thought I'd give it a try! Previously I have used Kerosene (poured it into an old spray bottle) and either a grunge brush or just some rags, which did the job just great!
After a quick trip the other day when the chain was warmed up I put my tire on rear stand, and sprayed a liberal amount of the cleaner on the chain. The brush was a bit strange to use at first, but it screws on right around the chain. The nice thing about this brush in comparison to a grunge is that it covers all 4 sides of the chain and not just 3. Anyways, I was very pleased with the end results. I haven't seen so much crap come off my chain with only a couple full rotations of it like this before. Still used some water on the chain and a rag to get all excess crap off. My buddies think I'm a bit anal with chain maintenance, but I like doing it, and to me a clean chain just makes a bike look that more appealing.
Time will only tell to see how many uses I get out of this brush as it doesn't seem to be of the same quality of a grunge....but this kit is give or take the same about as a grunge brush on it's own.
Highly recommend this stuff and its only $20 give or take for the kit (big aerosol can and a brush). You can find it at most local shops and online stores.
Has anyone else used this cleaner, and find that it does wonders? Or have I been brainwashed into the marketing gimmick? LOL!
