Park Tool CG-2.4 - Chaingang Cleaning System,Blue

Really easy to use. The instructions are very simple (even though they are long). It did the job quickly with minimum mess to clean up. I wore gloved and they did not tear obviously. Absolutely worth the money. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with a chain lubricant. You have to get that separately, but it is necessary post clean up. My chain was rusty and very dirty. I had not used my bike in months and it was outside all winter, so really rough condition with rain and snow. This worked well for me.

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!

Unit worked very well. Instructions say to use the cleaner, then use soapy water. One bottle of cleaner is 3 to 4 cleanings. I use some dish soap twice and then rinsed well with water. Dried the chain with rags, then blew dry with compressed air. Chain looks great. Used a good chain lube when I was done. Kit was easy to use and is much stronger plastic than the last one I used. It is more expensive than the other cheap ones but I think it was worth the cost.

Es un excelente producto. Se ve solida su fabricación

A very clever and handy kit that cleaned up my grungy bike chain very well.

Prior to buying this product, I just occasionally used an aerosol can that was supposed to be a degreaser/lubricant combined. It, along with some rags, did a decent job on the chain, but I never had any tool to clean the sprocket. After reading the reviews on this product, I was impressed and decided to give it a try.Here are my impressions: The instructions were very easy to follow. I don't have a bike stand, so I leaned the handlebar of the bike up against a wall, inserted the chain into the device and moved the pedal backwards to degrease it. (I soon discovered that the bike wanted to move backwards, so I had someone help me hold the brake to prevent that movement. If I were doing it by myself, I would simply tie something around the brake control on the handlebar in order to keep it engaged.)Rather than using the supplied degreaser, I used Simple Green, which is much cheaper, and worked really well.The brush used to clean the sprockets got them cleaner than they have been in 10 years, but I did notice a few bristles from the brush got stuck in the chain. They were removed with a little effort.After degreasing everything, I emptied the contents of the plastic container, cleaned it out, and started to lubricate the chain. Overall, this method of cleaning/degreasing was not nearly as messy as my old method. That came as a total surprise to me, as I was expecting somewhat of a mess.After finishing everything, I took the bike for a test ride. I started hearing a strange noise coming from the rear wheel, but I had a hard time isolating it. After some time, I found out that problem was the Simple Green had removed the lubricant from the wheel bearings. After I re-lubed that, there was no sound at all, and everything ran smoothly.

I don't have s bike stand so I typically just flip the bike to clean it. Got caught in the rain today so really wanted to clean and lube. Flipped it, snapped the thing on ran it thru with the solution and Dawn with some warm water and it got sparkling clean!! Wiped the chain down, cleaned rest of the bike, lubed it up and it's sounding better than ever on the sprockets! People talk about the expense if the fluid they say right on their directions you can use dish soap and water so I used the solution and a bit of Dawn and hot water for extra clean.

Effective device albeit a messy one. First time doing this, I’m at 1000 plus miles. It took three applications and three pairs of disposable gloves. The magnet on bottom of fluid reservoir is good at removing metal material from fluid. Get dirty.
