Pedro's Unisex Pig II Chain Cleaning Machine - Red | Bike & Motorcycle Chain Cleaner for Easy Maintenance | Perfect for Road Bikes, Mountain Bikes & Dirt Bikes

Of course removing your chain completely, and then soaking it in proper bike degreaser is the best solution, but if your going all out, then you should also clean the whole drive train, remove and soak the casettee ect.That's not something I always want or need to do. This is next best thing. Quick, easy, lazy, uses only 1oz of fluid. Takes only a few minutes of time and minimal effort, no tools, and saves money on degreaser as it uses so little. Don't expect spotless results in the nooks and crannies of the drive train, but your chain will be 99 percent clean. The chain pig II is effective if used as directed.The product itself is mostly plastic, as are most of its competitors in this price range. It's about as durable as plastic can be, but be careful of the hinges which are also molded plastic and somewhat fragile. The metal pig tail which attached to my rear derailer did not stay in place and I was forced to hold the chainpig in place as I back pedaled but this was easy enough and didn't require much effort. I've used the park tools plastic chain cleaner in the past, I would say this is about as effective but way cuter!I'm currently using this on my waxed road bike chain because I'm lazy but where it really shines is for commuters who just need a quick cleaning of the gunk out of there chain without all the fuss, tools, and detailing of a drive train disassemble. That is how I've used it in the past and it works wonders for that purpose. Be careful with it's plastic parts but aside from that I definitely recommend
