Oxford Claw Brush

The Oxford Claw Brush is primarily designed for cleaning bicycle drivetrain components, including chains, cassette sprockets, and derailleurs. The different brush sizes and the claw tool are optimized for these specific areas.

Yes, you can use the brush with most standard bicycle cleaning solutions and degreasers. For best results, Oxford recommends using their Mint Cleaning range and warm water.

After each use, rinse the brush thoroughly with clean water to remove any residual dirt or cleaning solution. Allow it to air dry completely before storing.

The moulded claw tool is specifically shaped to dig into tight spaces and dislodge stubborn, caked-on dirt, mud, and grime that regular brushes may struggle to reach.

You should avoid using the brush with boiling water and never use it on hot bike parts, such as recently used engine components or exhaust pipes. Always allow parts to cool and use warm water.

While the nylon bristles are durable, caution should be exercised on delicate finishes like high-gloss carbon fiber. It is best suited for the robust metal components of the drivetrain. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.

Ensure you are using an appropriate cleaning solution and warm water. For very stubborn grime, allow the cleaner to soak for a few minutes before scrubbing. Check that the correct brush size or claw tool is being used for the specific area.

Verify that the brush has not been used with boiling water or on hot components, as this can damage the nylon bristles. Allow bike parts to cool completely before cleaning and use only warm, not hot, water.

Ensure you have a firm grip on the moulded handle. While designed for comfort, individual hand sizes may vary. Take breaks if needed during extended cleaning sessions.
