Muc-off Chain Doc Chain Cleaning System

Cleaning your bike chain is critical to maintain its performance. Initially I was a bit sceptical about the plastic looking chain cleaning systems available out there. But I can't find any other easy and effective way to clean my bike chain. Invested in a new Chain Cleaning system after some brief research. I must say this system is cheap ($43), effective and easy to use.

This is how I use the chain cleaning system. Place the chain within the chain bath, and pull the Chain Doc trigger to engage the bristles against the chain. Spray solvent into the bath continuously while rotating the cranks backwards until the chain runs through clean.

Do treat the system with care and try not to be too vigorous when you rotate your cranks backwards. My chain came off twice but I was able to stop in time to engage it back by rotating the cranks forward.

The solvent is quite effective in clearing the grease and dirt on your chain. Look at how the dirty solvent flow off my chain :)

Be warned that dirty solvent can seep from the bath while you're cleaning/brushing your chain with the system so this is best done outdoors where you can rinse off the dirty solvent easily.

I'm happy with the result and it took me just 5 mins to clean my chain and rinse it with running water.

Hope you will find this sharing useful. Next step, lubricating the chain...

p/s: I bought this chain cleaning system at Chapter 2 Cycle
