Fenwicks FS1 degreaser - brilliant

[jamin100]

For the first time in 18 months (I know) I paid some attention to my groupset. I always lube my chain but could never clean the groupset properly

Well I found out about fenwicks degreaser so thought I'd give it ago. 20 minutes later and about 15 baby wipes later I get it looking pretty good (in my book)

That's done trick very well. Chain looks good too, I think I might get some of the product.

Thanks for that I have ordered a 1ltr bottle of the concentrate from evans with the 15% offer code and Free Delivery only £8.49

I usually use white spirit on my drivetrain so i will be interested to see how this compares.

I diluted it down to about 50:50 in an old spray bottle. Sprayed it on and left it for a bit then rinsed it off with the hose.
Then repeated that once more and finally used baby wipes to get into the gaps between the cogs

nice job, looks like you might be using too much lube though. Check out the Mickle method.

I use this stuff, you can get it from the local market or for £1 a bottle. It is a water based degreaser so it can be easily rinsed off with a hose. Spray it on, leave for 1 minute, agitate with a paint brush, rinse it off with water. I preffer it compared to a petrol based solvent since it's safe to use on brake disks and pads.
