Product Information

Full details

The Oxford Chain Brush (OX731) is designed for motorcycle enthusiasts seeking a faster and more efficient way to clean their motorcycle chains. Its multi-faced design tackles three sides of the chain simultaneously, while an additional long-bristled brush addresses debris between links. The primary benefit is a significantly quicker and more thorough chain cleaning process, which can help prevent premature wear on your chain and sprockets. A potential caveat is that it may require a separate brush for very intricate areas or specific types of grime.

FAQs

How often should I clean my motorcycle chain with this brush?

It's recommended to clean your motorcycle chain every 500-1000 miles or after riding in wet or dirty conditions. Regular cleaning with the Oxford Chain Brush helps maintain performance and longevity.

What kind of cleaning solution should I use with the Oxford Chain Brush?

You can use any motorcycle-specific chain degreaser or a mild soap and water solution. Always rinse thoroughly after cleaning.

Can I use this brush on my bicycle chain?

While designed for motorcycle chains, the Oxford Chain Brush's multi-faced design might be adaptable for larger bicycle chains. However, specialized bicycle chain brushes are often better suited for the smaller, more delicate mechanisms of bicycle chains.

Will this brush remove rust from my chain?

The brush is designed for cleaning dirt and grime. For rust removal, you may need to use a specific rust remover treatment in conjunction with the brush, followed by thorough cleaning and lubrication.

How do I maintain the bristles?

Rinse the brush thoroughly after each use and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid storing it while wet or in enclosed, damp spaces to prevent bristle damage or mold.

Is this brush suitable for all motorcycle chain types?

Yes, the Oxford Chain Brush is suitable for all types of motorcycle chains, including O-ring, X-ring, and standard chains.

Troubleshooting

Brush bristles are not effectively removing dirt.

Ensure you are using an appropriate chain degreaser or cleaner. Apply the cleaner generously before using the brush. You may need to scrub more vigorously or use the long-bristled end for stubborn grime.

Brush feels stiff or clumpy after use.

Rinse the brush thoroughly with warm water immediately after use to remove all cleaning solution and debris. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

The multi-faced brush doesn't seem to reach all parts of the chain.

This is a common limitation for deep cleaning. For very thorough cleaning, consider using the long-bristled end of the brush or a secondary, smaller brush to target specific areas that the multi-faced brush may miss, especially on heavily soiled or specialized chains.

Compatibility:

This chain brush is designed to be compatible with all standard types of motorcycle chains, including O-ring, X-ring, and standard chains.

Care Instructions:

  1. Post-Use Cleaning: Immediately after each use, rinse the brush thoroughly with clean water to remove any residual degreaser, dirt, and chain lubricant.
