Chain Degreaser CX80 150 ml — Bike Chain Cleaner

CX80 150 ml chain degreaser is a liquid bike chain cleaner formulated to remove oil, grease and grime from bicycle chains and drivetrain components. Packaged in a 150 ml bottle, this degreaser is intended for targeted cleaning of chain links, rollers and cogs before relubrication. Regular use helps restore efficient chain movement, supports smoother gear changes and reduces abrasive wear on drivetrain parts.

Advantages

The formula dissolves common lubricants, road grime and light accumulated dirt without heavy mechanical effort, allowing for quick spot cleaning of individual chain links and cassette teeth. Its compact 150 ml size makes it convenient for home workshops, on-the-go maintenance or as part of a basic bike care kit. The liquid consistency penetrates between rollers and plates to loosen contaminants, preparing the chain surface for optimal re-application of lubricant.

Suitable for

• Targeted cleaning of bicycle chains (road, gravel, mountain)
• Cleaning cassette cogs, derailleur pulleys and chainrings prior to lubrication
• Spot maintenance during rides or between full-service cleanings
• Workshops and home maintenance kits where small-volume degreaser is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This 150 ml liquid degreaser is designed for targeted, local cleaning rather than large-scale degreasing of a full drivetrain on multiple bikes. It is not a replacement for a thorough ultrasonic or hot soapy bath used in professional servicing when deep cleaning of heavily contaminated parts is required.

Key specifications

• Form: liquid degreaser
• Volume: 150 ml
• Intended use: bicycle chain and drivetrain component cleaning
• Application: spot and targeted cleaning prior to lubrication

How to use

Apply a small amount of the degreaser directly onto the chain links, rollers or cassette teeth while rotating the pedals backward to work the fluid into the contact points. Allow the product to penetrate for a short time, then wipe off dissolved grime with a clean cloth or brush. Repeat application on heavily soiled areas if necessary. After cleaning, ensure the chain is dry and free of residue before applying the appropriate chain lubricant.

What to consider before purchase

• If you require deep cleaning of multiple bikes or heavily soiled parts, consider a larger-volume degreaser or a dedicated cleaning bath.
• Verify compatibility with any painted, anodised or sensitive surfaces; avoid prolonged contact with non-metal finishes unless indicated as safe.
• Ensure you have suitable brushes or cloths for removal of dissolved grime and a proper lubricant for re-lubrication after cleaning.

Usage recommendations

Use the CX80 150 ml chain degreaser for short, targeted maintenance sessions: apply sparingly, work it into the chain while pedaling backwards, remove residues thoroughly and relubricate promptly to maintain chain performance and longevity.
