Recommended - Muc Off Bio Drivetrain Cleaner Works

I cleaned the chain and gears on my old e-bike that had wet grease and dirt for three years. I used the cleaner in an inexpensive chain cleaner. I was surprised by the results. The bike is much quieter and shifts perfectly without requiring a lot of tuning. Old dirt and grime would cause the chain to slip, dangle, and loosen. I used Muc Off Dry Lube after cleaning the chain/sprocket, rinsing with clean water and drying. Both Muc Off products have worked well.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Some bugs

The product works fine. The bottle is not very good.

I have no doubts about this product. I have used a different degreaser for several years but have never been happy with the results. A cyclist friend recommended this product to me so I gave it a try and was very impressed with the results. The only problem was the atomizer. The spray mechanism fell apart the first time I tried to use it and liquid dripped all over my hand. Maybe I just have a broken bottle but just thought I'd mention it. But since the bottle is exactly the same and the…

  • Excellent overall performance

It drips badly from the atomizer

I really wanted to fall in love - but in terms of efficiency - excellent. The product itself is great - gets in there and removes grease, grit and other pesky contaminants that your drivetrain hates. The reason for the four stars is the atomizer. I don't know why but it drips/drips when sprayed and hits EVERYTHING. I swear I dropped more on the floor than the gearbox hit. If it could be fixed it would definitely be FIVE stars. This may be user error which is why I gave it four stars instead of…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • there are nuances

Great product but the pump literally doesn't work the first time. The pump supplied with the product is unusable. I had to buy a spray bottle and bottle to use this. Update: Changed from 4 to 3 stars due to the pump. the product itself is excellent. The pump literally fell into four parts. the pump does not turn on. After using homemade pump parts to cap the bottle, one of the parts fell off leaving the bottle open to the air. 1/2 of the product evaporated before I knew it. I bought a 3.00…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Expensive

Best degreaser I've ever used, worst bottle design I've ever seen.

The best degreaser I have ever used. The worst atomizer nozzle design you can imagine. I won't buy it again because it's $21 and so much of this valuable product is wasted falling out of the nozzle or over your hands or whatever. This is absolutely the best degreaser I have ever used, no questions asked. But when you consider how much is wasted. I won't buy this again. And even now, I save it for special occasions when, for one reason or another, my transmission gets dirtier than usual. Another

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

The product was previously opened and delivered leaking.

The bottle cap has been pushed halfway back. The cap was loose. The degreaser has leaked out of the bottle. For $20, a full bottle delivered with no leaks is a reasonable expectation. The product works fine. It removes grease from the gearbox, but Simple Green and other basic cleaners do the job well enough day in and day out and cost 80% less. It smells like a volatile petroleum distillate, despite claims to be biologically safe. He also recommends the use of gloves. I would suggest using this

Great for removing wax!

I clean my bike chains with melted speed wax. I also use Squirt (wax based lube). I recently decided to try NixFrixShun (NFS) lube, but my bike builder warned me to remove all wax from my cassette before using NFS with a new chain (which has also been degreased to remove the factory lube). .First I applied Muc Off. Sure, some dirt and wax came off, but I wasn't impressed at first. Then I sprayed some more and left for a minute. Holy cow! That's magic! With a small brush, I quickly made my…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • So-so

Stained/dull color when seated

I have mountain bikes. Suitable for pre-packaged degreasing spray. Details shine and leave no residue after cleaning and rinsing with water. Not too much discomfort when it blows in your face. The atomizer is odd, producing a very fine fan-shaped mist. This makes it difficult to land on the chain unless you are on top. In addition, the bottle is well sealed, so the atomizer creates a vacuum and sucks the walls of the green daylight bottle. You often have to unscrew the cap to remedy this…

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Minor issues
