Non esiste niente di meglio in quanto a rapiditá di pulizia! Veloce ed efficace e adatto pure ai dischi del freno.Unico neo: per pulizie della catena particolarmente sporca, una bomboletta non dura piú di tre pulizie.

Product worked good, clean, and immediate. Only issue is I ran out to fast. There are other products out there that do the same, even less expensive.

This product strips a dirty bike chain of everything - grease, dirt, oil - everything, in just seconds. There are some precautions you need to take, though:This is a strong solvent, and evaporates quickly. So, you should only use it in a well-ventilated area. There will also be a lot of runoff from your bike, so be sure you have something on the floor to catch it. This stuff WILL carry dissolved grease and oil into the pores of a concrete floor, creating a completely indelible stain.Avoid getting this solvent on carbon wheels, especially older ones. The solvent may have a deleterious effect on the epoxies used to press carbon products. If there is a nick in the clearcoat or damage to the braking scrim, this could get in and dissolve the epoxy. Frames too if they are not painted and clear coated.Allow to dry completely before applying new oil! Otherwise, it will emulsify your new oil and prevent it working well.Whatever you do, do not under any circumstances use this product to create a circus fireball show.

Der Finish Line Entfetter Speed Clean macht seinem Namen alle Ehre. Bei der Reinigung meiner Fahrradkette entfernte er den anhaftenden Dreck schnell, allerdings leerte sich die Dose ebenfalls mit "Speed". Dabei entfettet er so gründlich, dass die Kette sich während der Reinigung kaum noch bewegen ließ. Es ist unbedingt erforderlich, die Kette danach neu einzufetten.Wegen zu hohem Verbrauch und "zu starker" Entfettung nur 3 Sterne.

I had a hard time believing reviews for products like this but this product it amazing. I sprayed and watched the grime just fall off, yes, it just disappeared. Just make sure you have a bucket to catch all the excess flow below the cassette and derailleur. I don't even see the need for brushes, etc if you have this liquid. Only thing is, a lot of it gets used each time. I have only used it once so far but feel like I have used up half of the spray. But if it makes my cassette and derailleur look brand spanking new, I dont mind using this every month or two to keep it well maintained.

Habe heute das komplett verschmutzte Schaltwerk meiner Freundin gereinigt. In nur 10 min war ich mit dem hinteren Teil komplett fertig.Achtung!! Es muss komplett neu geschmiert werden!!!!Anschließend habe ich Innotech Schmiermittel High Tech Ketten Fluid 105 zur Endreinigung und Schmierung eingesetzt.Kann den Reiniger aus meiner Sicht für die weiterempfehlen die nicht die komplette Schaltung abbauen und einlegen wollen.Gruß Fabian

Can't believe this degreaser, in these weather conditions we are having (well here in Yorkshire) rain, hail, shine & wind in summer. You just can't get round to cleaning, oiling& lubing your drivetrain every day to keep it mint. Since I have used Speed Clean, my Drivetrain and Bike look like they have just come out of the Specialized Concept Store. No more brushes and old T Shirts to get into the awkward places on your Cassette and Chain rings. What a fantastic product.

There is no doubt this is amazing stuff. It does exactly what it says it does. But even in a well ventilated area you are going to breathe the stuff in. Heed the warning - if the spray makes grease simply drop away, what does it do to your bronchial tubes? I used it 3 times - outdoors each time and got sick twice. Those 2 times I had my bike up on a maintenance rack. You have to use almost one third of a can to clean the whole chain and gearset. The first time I got sick I used it outside around midday, and I started to feel chest constriction in the early evening. I didnt relate it to the Finish Line at the time. It passed in a day. The second time I used a face mask. Useless. The vapor goes right through. Having the bike at face level on the rack just made things worse. I developed a very sore throat and a heavy duty unproductive cough that evening. It lasted ten days. I'm going back to the old fashioned way.

Finish Line Speed Degreaser effectively removed 90 percent of the hardened grease and crud from the front and rear sprocket and derailleurs of my 25 year old Trek 830 mountain bike. I never bothered to clean the gears or shifting mechanism for 25 years. Yes, yes, i know...but everything worked fine so why bother? Finally, after replacing the old, rusted shift and brake cables with new stainless steel ones, and installing new front and rear brakes (the whole brake, not just the pads) I started to have shifting problems.I have to admit to lots of doubts about the ability of anything to actually remove 25 years of crud, but this stuff really worked. The small residue left was mainly strings, threads and whatever was not simply grease and dirt. With all the crud removed, the residue was easy to pull off the gears and derailleurs and then adjust them.The parts dried in just a few minutes and required lubrication since Finish Line removed all grease and oil.If you're going to do heavy duty cleaning place something under the parts to catch the runoff. The parts themselves will dry in just a few minutes and be ready to lube, but the runoff will hang around and stain whatever it falls on.Finish Line is expensive, but worth the money imo.

The formula used for this degreaser is quite effective and leaves no grease behind...if you wipe it down before it dries.It claims that you don't need to wipe...anyone with basic knowledge of chemical solubility will realize that this is a lie. The degreaser itself evaporates, but does not carry the dirty grease with it into the gas phase which means anything that doesn't actually drip off the bike will remain on the bike after the degreaser dries.The pressure is great...but this also means you waste a lot if you use it willy nilly (you can go through an entire can if you don't brush your bike first). It's good for getting into tight spots, but I would avoid wasting it on open areas that you can easily wipe down with a cheaper solvent and a rag.Overall, a nearly essential product for getting bikes clean, but should be carefully used for tight spots and wiped down if it doesn't drip off the bike.

I have been searching for a painless way to clean bicycle cassettes and chains. This is the solution - it blows the grease and grime right off the cassette and chain and when it dries, the chain is ready to be oiled. The only issue I had was that I sort made a mess of the surrounding area so I intend to use a piece of cardboard behind my target to catch the overspray.Now the bad news that caused me to change this from a 5 star to a 1 star review:I don't that I over sprayed, I simply worked along my chain blowing the grease off. The can lasted me all of three cleanings so when one takes that into account, rather than pay an exorbitant price for enough product, I have simply returned to effective other degreasers such as Simple Green. I was warned in advance that a competing product lasted a very short time, but this can seemed to be a size where one could expect a reasonable amount of use ages - 3 is not reasonable. Oh and yes, it ran out towards the end of the 3rd use which was finished with another product.
