Aggressive on grime yet gentle enough not to strip precious waterproof greases inside hubs and pivots. - Flip‑Top Mist/Foam Nozzle
Switch between a wide mist to coat large areas or thick foam that clings—handy for vertical cassettes. - Value‑Packed Sizes
Choose 500 ml (£9.99) for toolbox portability or 1 L (£23.44) for workshop warriors and team pits.

How to Use It
- Prep & Shake – Shift into the big ring / small cog combo for better access; shake bottle well.
- Choose Spray Mode – Flip the nozzle to foam for stubborn build‑up or mist for rapid coverage.
- Saturate Drivetrain – Spray chain, cassette, jockey wheels, and chainrings until coated.
- Agitate – Spin cranks backwards and scrub with a soft brush or chain‑cleaner tool for 30 s.
- Dwell – Let the foam sit 2–3 min to dissolve oils; avoid drying in direct sun.
- Rinse Thoroughly – Use low‑pressure hose or watering can; watch brown suds slide away.
- Dry & Re‑Lube – Wipe with a clean rag, allow to air‑dry, then apply fresh chain lube.
Tip: For e‑bikes, power off and cover battery terminals before spraying.
Who Is This For?
- Mountain & Gravel Riders – Battles mud, clay, and wet‑lube gunk after big days out.
- Road Racers & Commuters – Strips oily road film for a crisp, silent drivetrain.
- E‑Bike Owners – Safe on high‑torque chains and sealed motor bearings.
- Workshop Mechanics – Fast foam action speeds up service turnover.
- Eco‑Conscious Cyclists – Prefer cleaners that won’t pollute trails or drains.
