Park Tool CG-2.4 - Chaingang Cleaning System,Blue

Arrived in less than a week from UK to Australia,I read the reviews on these and it should be good Can't wait to try it!

Funktioniert sehr gut

Molto semplice e utile

I used it today for the 1st time; a 3 bike maintenance. The kit offers reasonable value; the brush/scraper is really needed to get into the cassette and derailleur, the degreaser gets you started. I watched videos, so it was pretty easy to use. My chain jumped a couple of times, but I got the hang of it pretty quick. I wouldn't say the chains were spotless afterwards, but they were significantly cleaner than before. I have never cleaned a chain before, so I guess more regular cleaning will bring things much cleaner. The unit and brushes look very robust. Just don't store the unit with the latches closed, as I've seen reports that the plastic fatigues around the latch hinge. I was worried that cleaning the unit would be hard, but I think the combination of degreaser, then washing up liquid, keeps the oil easy to clean away. That and the fact the brushes are all removeable. You just drop in a bit of washing up liquid, stick your finger in and hey presto. At first I had trouble cleaning the bottom sump, but then I removed the magnet and everything fell away. So that just goes to show that the magnet does its job. The degreaser that came with the kit lasted exactly the 3 bikes (including some for scrubbing cogs & derailleurs). So I already ordered 5l of decent value bike degreaser.

Anyone who likes to maintain their own bike absolutely needs one of these in their tool kit arsenal. Prior to using this chain cleaner, I was simply lubing my chain and wiping off any grime that had accumulated over time. Realizing that I couldn’t get my chain super clean this way, I remembered selling this cleaning kit when I worked at a bike shop way back in the day and thought I’d give it a try. I’m very impressed. Following the easy-to-use instructions, my chain was super clean within 10 minutes after use. I used this kit multiple times since my wife’s bike chain needed cleaning as well and it worked like a charm. It does take a lot of cleaning solution, however. The kit comes with a bottle of cleaning solution that should get you through 3-4 cleanings before having to purchase another bottle. Overall durability of the kit is great. It’s built well and very easy to install/uninstall. Just get ready to get a bit dirty. I wear protective gloves and my garage clothes when cleaning my bike so I’m not worries about ruining my clothes. For the value of being able to clean your own drivetrain, this kit is well worth the money. It’s takes very little time to use and even comes with a brush for cleaning your cassette (gears). Great product!
