Evening guys & gals.

I'm looking for a good cleaning kit,Degreaser & Lube with a sprocket cleaning brush.

Any recommendations or just the usual fairy liquid & sponge ?

Cheers

Fenwicks foaming degreaser and Fenwicks chain cleaning sponge for the chain, plus Purple Ronnie's bike floss for the cassette.

MucOff for the frame, forks and wheels.

Fenwicks Stealth lube for the chain.

Finish Line wet lube for everything else.

Got a cheap Park Tools three brush and sprocket cleaner for 14 quid the other week

Maybe not the cheapest but I had a voucher to use up

get 2 or 3 dustpan and brush sets from a quid shop and through away the pans. One for dirty/greasy bits and one for the rest, rinse with water then dry with a rag.

Big soft brush from a £1 Tesco pan and shovel. Wait for bike to dry, flail at mud with brush for as long as you can be bothered. Bike is now Clean Enough, **** It.

^^^^^

this was my previous method of cleaning til i realised how much dried cow sh*t i was breathing in

EDIT: I also used some B&M cheapo brushes til I got the clean and dirty ones mixed up...the park ones were only bought cos I had to use up a halfords voucher i was given
