Title: Re: The Grunge Post by: OverCaffeinated on May 17, 2009, 09:33:16 AM Definitely better than rags. It's cool cuz you can get three sides of the chain at once. Also you can spin the rear tire while holding the brush against the chain, for fast cleaning.
Title: Re: The Grunge Post by: DucHead on May 17, 2009, 10:48:51 AM I have one of those, and I never use it.
I spray my chain (while hot) with Chain Wax, and then use a rag (all the way 'round the chain) while spinning the rear wheel by hand. Cleans and lubes at the same time. Cancel your eBay order, and I'll mail you the Grunge brush FOC. [laugh] Title: Re: The Grunge Post by: OverCaffeinated on May 17, 2009, 10:55:24 AM I had to use mine to get off the old tar, also known as PJ1 black label. Then applied dupont wax.

When i took of my sprocket to clean that are under the slave i cleaned that whole area nice enough to eat of, then a week later it was so piled up with grease in there that the sprocket carved out its own little path. it was litteraly a sprocket cover made of grease/wax/grime/rocks/ and probably small animals feet. Title: Re: The Grunge Post by: LA on May 18, 2009, 08:45:20 AM In almost 40 years of riding I've never cleaned a chain. I usually change em out at 15,000 mi. as a matter of course and I do wax it every 300 mi. give or take. That's about the time they start needing adjustment. Usually I don't have to adjust but maybe twice in 15,000. Chains are so reliable now and with the SSSA they're as maintenance free as shaft drive.
The brush looks like it would work very well though. LA Title: Re: The Grunge Post by: corey on May 22, 2009, 09:16:21 AM i have one
i love it. kerosene + grunge brush = chain that shines like justice. Title: Re: The Grunge Post by: Goat_Herder on May 22, 2009, 11:04:58 AM i have one i love it. kerosene + grunge brush = chain that shines like justice. I use it regularly and love it. This reminds me it's time for another chain cleaning/waxing. [thumbsup] Title: Re: The Grunge Post by: He Man on May 22, 2009, 12:10:02 PM In almost 40 years of riding I've never cleaned a chain.

LA when you wax your chain, dont you automatically clean it anyway? unless you just spray on on the wax and rub it down with a towel (thats what consider cleaning and waxing) Title: Re: The Grunge Post by: NAKID on May 22, 2009, 05:35:41 PM I use a spray on dry silicone. The gunk just dissolves off the chain with this stuff...
