Just bought a park tools chain scrubber tool and their citrus degreaser, who else uses one? After using it do you hose it all down, or give it a wipe with a rag? And how long before I can re-apply chain lube? I presume if I apply it too soon it will just dissolve in the remnants of what I've just cleaned the chain with? Or have I just wasted my money?
Hose down, dry chain with old towel then relube
I use one. got mine for £4 from lidl. It does a good job too! I usually just wipe it round with a cloth and then reapply the oil after a minute or two maybe. never had any trouble with it
I used to have one but she left me.
I have the Park one as well and use Fenwicks FS1 degreaser, after I've used the degreaser I fill up the scrubber with water to rinse it, twist the chain when your done and you'll hear if there's any grit left in it, if so, do it all again. (make sure to clean the chainrings, cassette and jocky wheels as well or it's all kind of pontless)
As for lubing the chain I'll leave the bike to drip dry have a cup 'o tea first.
I never used to use one until someone gave me one. Less faffing round now due to not taking the chain off. I just use Muc Off in mine, rinse with water, let it dry then apply oil.
I use it on the ss religiously, once every 6 months
just water in the "bath" mind - don't want to go spoiling the old girl
(edit: ss's are choosy about which scrubber - you need one that doesn't divert the chain a long way when you clamp it on, as there's no slack in the chain)
I used to have one but she left me.
I wonder why! 😆
Scrub, rinse, drip dry, cup of tea, lube, ride hard, got it! Off to garage....
I use one - a Portland Design Works 'anteater', really nice bit of kit thus far. Use a citrus degreaser, towel it off then oil back up
