FAQs
Can I use this on my carbon fiber frame?
While it is intended for the drivetrain, it is best to avoid getting degreaser on frame paintwork; wipe off immediately with water if accidental contact occurs.
Is this degreaser biodegradable?
Yes, it features a natural-based formula designed to be safer for the environment than traditional solvents.
Do I need to wash the bike after using this?
You only need to rinse the areas where you applied the degreaser to ensure all solvent and loosened dirt are washed away.
How often should I degrease my chain?
This depends on riding conditions; typically, a deep clean is recommended every 100-200 miles or after riding in wet, muddy conditions.
Does this replace the need for chain lubricant?
No, this is a cleaning agent only. You must re-lubricate your chain immediately after cleaning to protect the metal.
Troubleshooting
Degreaser is not removing dried-on wax lube
Allow the degreaser to sit for a longer duration of 5-10 minutes and use a more rigid brush to mechanically break the wax bond.
Residue left on chain after rinsing
Ensure you are using a sufficient flow of water to flush the dissolved grime completely out of the chain rollers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This product is compatible with all standard bicycle chains, including those found on road, mountain, and commuter bikes. It is safe for use on metal drivetrain components. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. While the formula is natural-based, it is always recommended to wear gloves to avoid drying out your skin. After rinsing the chain, ensure you dry it thoroughly with a clean rag and apply a fresh layer of bicycle-specific chain lubricant immediately to prevent surface rust.
