What degreaser do you use?

designman

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?

DHTT

Washing up liquid.

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.

Fenwicks is good.

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.

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.

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.

Petrol or Paraffin!

Or.... MucOff

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.

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

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.

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!

FinishLine Citrus Degreaser for me, performs alright but smells wonderful

Lagavulin

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.

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.

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.
