If you have a bike stand, run through all of your gears several times to agitate the grime
Agitate any stubborn areas where needed with a brush then leave to soak for two minutes

Apply Peaty's LinkLube

⚠️ What’s the difference between this and your XXX SOLVENT Degreaser?

While our Foaming Drivetrain Degreaser is formulated to be aggressive on chain lubricants and everyday dirt and grime, it will not attack waterproof bearing greases. For maximum punch, our XXX Solvent Degreaser has been formulated to quickly and easily remove all bearing greases, factory greases, waxes and oils.

So to summarise:

Foaming Drivetrain Degreaser for regular drivetrain cleaning and degreasing without stripping precious bearing greases.

XXX Solvent Degreaser for badass removal of all greases and waxes.

Foaming Drivetrain Degreaser vs XXX Solvent Degreaser?

Our Foaming Drivetrain Degreaser is safe to regularly degrease your drivetrain as it does not eat away at your bearing grease. If you need some extra power, want to remove factory grease from a new chain, or want to strip your bearings to reapply grease, grab yourself some XXX Solvent Degreaser. It makes light work of any wet lubes formulated with waterproof greases, factory chain grease and bearing grease, leaving your chain or bearings ready for a refresh.

Will this remove grease from my bearings?

No, our powerful biodegradable formula has been designed to be tough on grime and natural grease for fast and powerful drivetrain degreasing, while remaining kind to the rest of your bike and the environment.

Is Drivetrain Degreaser safe to use on carbon, brake pads and discs?

Oh yes 👌

Are there any chain lubes it won’t work on?

All of the Peaty’s LinkLube range work great with our Foaming Drivetrain Degreaser. Any other brands of wet lubes which use marine-grade/ waterproof grease as part of their formulation will need a solvent degreaser like our XXX Solvent Degreaser to remove it. Our Foaming Drivetrain Degreaser has been specially formulated to be tough on chain lubes and grime without needing to be solvent-based which (with regular use) would attack your precious bearing greases.
