Definitely competes with well-known products

To be honest, I bought this product because I thought well-known brands were overpriced. I saw that it was a small business in PNW where I am and decided to give it a try. Not only did this product work great! But it also had a MUCH less pungent smell. The biodegradable ingredients are a big plus and protect other components on my bike. Runaway Bike Degreaser is my new favorite product!

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Works perfectly! good for bike tools and maintenance

This was my first time cleaning a bike chain and this degreaser (in the Park Tool CM 5.2 Chain Cleaner) worked great! My chain was terribly DIRTY; I ran it through the instrument TWICE with this solution, carefully draining the _black_ liquid each time. Then twice more with clear water for rinsing, which became _still_ cloudy. After applying new lube, I rode nine miles and my chain was quiet for the first time in months. :) I chose this product because I live near wetlands, so its non-toxicityโ€ฆ

  • Impressive

  • Useless features

An effective bike tool and maintenance cleaner

This soap-based degreaser is very light. It wasn't a big mess unless there was already oil in the degreaser. Unlike other degreasers, it emulsifies the lube in water, making it easy to wash off whatever you used to clean the chain. I usually take the chain off my bike and put it in a basin to clean it. Although Runaway is a soapy degreaser, it works just as well as a thicker, oilier degreaser like a park tool or even paint thinner. For some reason I was asked to estimate the thickness of theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Something different

Too expensive for what it is

I have a new road bike so the chain had sticky grease. I also drive it to work almost every day. I postponed degreasing for about 5 months. I used it lavishly on my sprockets and derailleurs. I soaked my chain in the solution and used a scrub brush (not a metal brush) to clean it. I had to pour the solution out three times just because I soaked it. There was still a lot of lube on it so I spent about 15 minutes cleaning the chain. Still not clean between the side plates and in the chain. Theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Some issues

Not as strong as a solvent but gets the job done!

This is an environmentally friendly degreaser that is ideal for bikes with regularly serviced transmissions. For certain chains it is best used with a chain cleaner such as Park Tool CM 5.2 or Finish Line Pro Chain Cleaner. I see some disappointed people comparing this to Windex or Dawn dishwashing detergents. Well, it's a biodegradable, non-toxic, non-flammable product that doesn't have the acetone activity of the dangerous, eye-irritating, difficult-to-breath solvent-based degreasers youโ€ฆ

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Protection
