Keeping your bike chain clean will prolong your chain life, it’ll also help preserve your entire drive train. Dirt and muck will wear your chain, reduce the flexibility of each link, increase the chance of breaking a link, and you’ll lose watts with every pedal stroke. A clean bike is a fast bike.
We recommend a Muc-Off chain degreaser and cleaner so that you can get the most out of your chain, and your ride.
