I'm looking for a good degreaser for cleaning my chain, chain rings and jockey wheels, must be easy to apply...
What do you guys use for cleaning the above?

I've had a bottle of the Park Tools Chainbrite that's lasted me a couple of years and been very effective. Wiggle sell it for about a tenner. I imagine most degreasers are much of a muchness though.0

Fenwicks is good.0

Muc off water soluble degreaser is fantastic stuff. Removes really heavy grease/grime with ease. Was suprised how well it worked compared to citrus degreasers.0

Fenwicks.
While Muc-Off is good stuff it should be renamed Rip-Off. 9 quid gets you 10 litres diluted of Fenwicks versus 6 quid for one litre of Muc-Off.
They both do the job equally well but it's a no brainer in my mind.0 -

I think you are confusing muc-off bike cleaner with muc-off degreaser. The degreaser is 10 times as effective as undiluted fenwicks.Diluted Fenwicks is great as a general bike cleaner though.0 -
Petrol or Paraffin!
Or.... MucOff0 -

Nope...I dilute the stuff and it does the job as a degreaser just as well as the undiluted stuff. And that applies to Rip-Off and Fenwicks.0 -

Muc-off degreaser is in an aerosol can so I don't see how (or why) you dilute it.0 -

Halford's citrus degreaser is the mutt's nuts.
Really. I promise.
At around £7 for a 1/2 litre it's probably the cheapest you'll find locally.0 -
Check out e bay or a local cleaning products supplier if you can find one.Got some very effective eco friendly citrus degreaser for £30.00 for 20 litres.It usually comes it in 5 litre bottles but you get stung on the postage so i bought it in bulk-will probably last longer than my bike!0

Park Tools Chainbrite/Finish Line Citrus Degreaser/Green Oil Clean Chain Degreaser.
All have made my chain less sh!tty after a ride and the latter makes a pretty decent all over bike cleaner when diluted.0 -

Well many moons ago their degreaser wasn't in an aerosol format. But as I find Muc-Off over-priced I've not really kept up with their product developments over the last few years.0 -
Used to use Muc off,but have since discovered that white spirit is as good,if not better and is only about £2 a bottle.2006 Giant XTC
