[QB1]

Anybody ever tried one of these?

Looks quite weird but possibly quite good?

No, I have used a Kettenmax cleaner, which worked well, albeit very messy.

What does everyone else do ?

i pretend I cant see anything. ::) ::)

Spray Wax

Sabesto chain cleaning spray & an old towel.
(I do it the dangerous way and my chain is cleaned weekly!)
It's worth it because it doesn't wear or stretch.
DID chain - top notch!!!

I meant to clean not lube the chain.

Yes that's what I do old rag and chain cleaner (I use Wurth brake and chain cleaner) not the dangerous way though ;)
:) Too chicken!:o Does get a bit messy though and just wondering if that weird little device on Ebay would get into a few more nooks and crannies??

Paraffin and a rag, work a treat and keep your chain happy, or sometime Wurth CHain and Brake cleaner!

Don't forget the latex gloves and a mask as you don't want it touching your skin or be inhaling it!

Do it in a well ventilated area!

WD or something similar is a very good degreaser, kitchen towel or an old rag to clean it off, like Rabb says, D.I.D chains are the biz 8-)

Used one of these for the past 6 months (not sure if it's a Tirox, but looks identical) - very well made. Use with parafin and a lot of newspaper to catch drips/spray and it cleans the chain beautifully. Run the chain through it a few times and it is spotless. Not a lot of mess if you prep well. Thoroughly recommend.

Brilliant I'm going to give one a try :)

I use a steam cleaner along with a de-greaser to remove all the crud, roll the bike back and forward to get the entire length of the chain, lube afterwards to stop it going rusty.
Only takes a few mins!
