Park Tool CG-2.4 - Chaingang Cleaning System,Blue

Excellent product. I was sceptical as I have seen similar items. This one is very well designed and works really well. Arrived yesterday, simple instructions so today I cleaned two chains on our electric bikes. Very easy to use and cleaned the chains really well. What impressed me most is the thought that has gone into this product. It even has a little magnet at the bottom of the well to attract metal particles and stop them circulating. Although the plastic looks cheap it fits together well and seems robust. I like the fact that spare parts are available. It was also very easy to clean after use. Yes you could use a brush to get the same result, but this is far quicker and reduces drastically the splashes you always get when chain cleaning.

Great tool makes cleaning bike chains easy and relatively mess free. The tool comes apart for ease of washing up and so your able to replace parts as they ware out.

This Park Tool does a pretty decent job of cleaning a bike chain in situ on the bike. I use a dedicated degreaser and wash off once the chain appears clean. It cannot give the chain a deep clean, but for ease of use it works really well.

This tool is a must have for keeping your bike running smooth. It’s super easy to use—just clip it on, add the included degreaser, and crank your pedals. The chain comes out looking almost brand new! The brushes do a great job, and the GearClean brush is perfect for getting into tight spots. If you want fast, mess-free chain maintenance, this kit is worth every penny. Great quality, as expected from Park Tool!

A very effective cleaning tool

Good little starter kit. The cleaner itself is easy to use and feels secure with two metel clips to keep it closed in operation. Easy to fill with fluid from the two holes on the top. The cleaning process is straightforward and results on a very dirty chain required a second application and this exhausted the supply of fluid. The brush is very handy to get into crevices and is nice and stiff plastic. Overall I am happy with this purchase.

Depending on what type of lubricant you use, you can use this with soap and water or stronger degreasers. I use a wax line so use water and it works really well. Great to not have to take the chain off. The only problem I had is that the clips came off early on but you need to hold it in place anyway, so holding it together is not exactly a problem.

Never cleaned a bike chain before. But having an expensive e bike now thought i better look after it. And this chain cleaner did an amazing job. Didn't realise just how dirty the chain had got in only a few months but now it's like new again. And feels so much better changing gears mow.

Arrived in less than a week from UK to Australia,I read the reviews on these and it should be good Can't wait to try it!

Molto semplice e utile

Bisher habe ich meine Fahrräder nicht gerade verwöhnt – ein bisschen Öl auf die Kette und ab und zu aufpumpen. Doch jetzt wollte ich das ändern und habe meine vier Räder gründlich gereinigt. Das ist eine Menge Arbeit, wenn man es jahrelang vernachlässigt hat! Besonders der Antrieb sammelt viel Schmutz. Mit Lappen und Antriebsreiniger bekommt man zwar einiges weg, aber zwischen den Kettengliedern bleibt es hartnäckig. Also habe ich mir ein Kettenreinigungsgerät gekauft. Mein erster Versuch war ein günstiges Modell für etwa 15 Euro. Leider stellte sich heraus: Wer billig kauft, kauft zweimal. Das Ding flog bei der Benutzung auseinander und landete im Müll. Danach habe ich mich für das Kettenreinigungsgerät von ParkTool entschieden. Dieses Modell wird oft in YouTube-Videos empfohlen. Schon beim Auspacken merkt man den Unterschied: Es ist größer und stabiler. Der Verschluss sitzt fest, und die Bürsten im Inneren sind robust. Zur Anwendung: Zuerst habe ich Antriebsreiniger aufgesprüht und den gröbsten Dreck mit einem Lappen entfernt. Dann kam das Gerät zum Einsatz. Reinigungsmittel einfüllen, Kette einlegen und verschließen. Dann zieht man die Kette etwa 30-mal durch. Anschließend das Ganze noch einmal mit Wasser wiederholen. Das Ergebnis war beeindruckend. Die Kette war sauber, auch innen. Danach nur noch ölen und fertig. Fazit: Billig ist nicht immer gut. Mit 45 Euro ist das ParkTool-Set nicht ganz günstig, aber es lohnt sich. Das Gerät ist leicht zu handhaben, die Teile sind austauschbar und das Ergebnis überzeugt. Absolut empfehlenswert!

I used it today for the 1st time; a 3 bike maintenance. The kit offers reasonable value; the brush/scraper is really needed to get into the cassette and derailleur, the degreaser gets you started. I watched videos, so it was pretty easy to use. My chain jumped a couple of times, but I got the hang of it pretty quick. I wouldn't say the chains were spotless afterwards, but they were significantly cleaner than before. I have never cleaned a chain before, so I guess more regular cleaning will bring things much cleaner. The unit and brushes look very robust. Just don't store the unit with the latches closed, as I've seen reports that the plastic fatigues around the latch hinge. I was worried that cleaning the unit would be hard, but I think the combination of degreaser, then washing up liquid, keeps the oil easy to clean away. That and the fact the brushes are all removeable. You just drop in a bit of washing up liquid, stick your finger in and hey presto. At first I had trouble cleaning the bottom sump, but then I removed the magnet and everything fell away. So that just goes to show that the magnet does its job. The degreaser that came with the kit lasted exactly the 3 bikes (including some for scrubbing cogs & derailleurs). So I already ordered 5l of decent value bike degreaser.

I've used this once so far and it was very easy to use. My chain wasn't all that dirty but it did clean it effectively and afterwards was ready for fresh oil. If you're careful and use it regularly it should last and keep your chain looking and working like new.
