Product Information
Full details
This BBB Cycling BioDrivetrain Chain Cleaner is designed for cyclists who want an effective and environmentally conscious way to clean their bike's drivetrain. Its key benefit is the powerful, yet biodegradable formula that effortlessly removes dirt and grease, leaving your frame, chain, and chainrings spotless. A minor caveat is that its effectiveness may vary slightly on extremely caked-on, old grease compared to harsher chemical cleaners, though it excels in typical use. This cleaner is 100% biodegradable, safe for your bike's components, and comes in packaging made from 100% recycled PET.

FAQs
Is this cleaner safe for carbon fiber components?
Yes, the plant-based, chemical-free formula is safe for use on carbon fiber and other sensitive bicycle materials.
How often should I use this chain cleaner?
For optimal performance and drivetrain longevity, it is recommended to use the cleaner as part of your regular maintenance routine, typically after every few rides or when the drivetrain appears dirty.
Does the 'Red' color mean anything?
The 'Red' designation refers to the product variant color and does not impact the cleaning performance or formulation.
Can I use this to clean my brakes?
While it is safe for most bike parts, it's generally recommended to use specific brake cleaners for brake components to ensure optimal braking performance. Avoid spraying directly onto brake pads and rotors.
What does 'biodegradable' mean in this context?
It means the cleaner is designed to break down naturally in the environment into simpler substances within 28 days, reducing its ecological footprint.

Troubleshooting
Cleaner not removing very thick, old grease
For extremely stubborn or caked-on grease, you may need to apply the cleaner multiple times or use a more aggressive scrubbing action with a brush. Consider a pre-treatment if necessary.
Residue left after cleaning
Ensure you have wiped down the components thoroughly with a clean cloth. If rinsing with water, make sure the drivetrain is completely dry afterward.
Product not spraying effectively
Check that the nozzle is not blocked. If it is, clear any debris. Ensure the bottle is held upright during spraying.
