Product Information
Full details
The Oxford Mint Bike Degreaser is designed for cyclists who need a powerful solution to tackle stubborn grease and oily residues on their bikes. Its key benefit lies in its ability to dissolve tough grime, making cleaning easier and protecting moving parts. A slight caveat is that its effectiveness is enhanced by allowing it to sit for a few minutes, requiring a small amount of patience during the cleaning process. This formulation features slow-evaporating solvents for extended contact time, an emulsifying action, and leaves a fresh minty scent.

FAQs
How long should I leave the degreaser on?
For optimal performance, allow the degreaser to sit on the greasy areas for 3-5 minutes before washing it off. For heavily soiled parts, you can leave it slightly longer.
Can I use this on my entire bike?
This product is specifically designed for dissolving grease and oily residues on mechanical parts like the drivetrain. It is not intended as a general bike wash for the entire frame or delicate components. Always test on a small area first if unsure.
Does it leave a residue?
Yes, it is formulated to leave a slight protective residue that helps protect parts and makes future cleaning easier. This residue should be thoroughly rinsed off if you prefer a completely clean finish, but it is designed to be beneficial for component protection.
What is the scent?
The degreaser has a clean, minty scent.
Is this product safe for the environment?
While effective, it is a solvent-based cleaner. Dispose of used product and rinse water responsibly according to local regulations. It is also certified as not tested on animals.
How should I store the degreaser?
Store in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed. Avoid extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Degreaser not removing all grease
Allow the degreaser to sit on the surface for a longer period (up to 10 minutes) or use a brush to agitate stubborn grime before rinsing.
Residue left on the bike after rinsing
Ensure the bike is rinsed thoroughly with water. A second application and rinse might be necessary for heavily soiled areas.
Product seems to be drying too quickly
Apply in a shaded area and avoid direct sunlight during application and dwell time. Ensure the cap is sealed after use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Effectively removes stubborn grease and oil.
- Protects bike components by allowing moving parts to function freely.
- Leaves a protective residue that simplifies future cleaning.
- Pleasant mint scent enhances the user experience.
- Formulated to work over time for deeper cleaning.
Cons
- Requires a short waiting period for maximum effectiveness.
- May not be suitable for delicate finishes without testing in an inconspicuous area.
- As with any solvent-based cleaner, ensure good ventilation during use.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the bike is on a stable stand or surface.
- Protect surrounding areas from overspray if necessary.
- Apply the degreaser directly to the greasy parts of the bike, such as the chain, cassette, and chainrings.
Compatibility:
This degreaser is formulated for metal bicycle components. It is generally safe for use on standard bicycle chains, gears, and derailleurs. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first if you are concerned about compatibility with specific or aftermarket finishes, particularly on carbon fiber or painted surfaces, though it is designed to be robust on typical bike materials.
Care:
- Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use to preserve the solvents and prevent evaporation.
- Clean up any spills immediately to prevent damage to surfaces.
- Dispose of used product and cleaning materials responsibly according to local regulations.
