Anyone ever used Cillit Bang Power Cleaner to degrease their chainset?

Instead of, for example, Muc Off?

Is there any compelling reason why I shouldn't, other than Barry bloody Scott?

LoL.

Makes me cries tears of joy, he's so manly.

Just car shampoo in hot water for me, applied with a floor hand brush. It's amazing to see how much grey gunk dribbles out of the chain and how clean and shiny the chain looks afterwards. Then I dry it with a microfibre cloth and lube later.

Have to say, I still don't follow the rationale for degreassing a chain; cleaning mud / grit off, yes, but degreassing seems to me to be absolutely the wrong idea.

and something KMC (at least) discourage with their chains

Only if you repeatedly shout "BANG, and the dirt is gone" as you do it.

With that proviso, it sounds like a great idea.

Love this sketch.

Serafinowicz (definitely had to look this up) should do more TV.

Ah, that was Peter Serafinowicz. Thanks. I love his work (first noticed him on Black Books "Fran, I'm coming") but this was - sorry, IMHO - awful.

I use cheap Lidl kitchen degreaser (cilit bang fake)

I also use it on my motorbikes as well. Does a good job on the chainset and cassette

Something like this will last forever in your garage and costs a fraction of the price if you water it down appropriately. Put in the time to calculate price/ml and you could find it cheaper no doubt by buying in larger sizes, you'll not need to buy it again for a decade or so. Win/win

You never really want to remove grease or oil from the inside.

A few of us went to Woburn Sands with the mtb's.
One of the group had coated his chain in a thick LM grease..
He thought it would keep the sand off the chain
The noise from his drivetrain was quite interesting

Why not buy 25ltr of TFR which is what I do.

Cause Lidl is local and its less than 80p a litre.

Good enough for me.
