Types of Bike Cleaners

There are 2 different types of bike cleaners:

  • Drivetrain degreaser
  • General bike cleaner

A drivetrain degreaser is designed to cut through grease, grime and old lubricant on the chain, cassette, derailleur and chainrings.

An all-round cleaner is gentler. These are designed for frames, tyres, rims and other peripheral components where there's a paint finish or seals involved.

It's also worthwhile considering cleaning brushes as well to remove dirt in hard to reach areas.

Grease for bikes

Unlike chain lube, bike grease serves internal lubrication purposes.

Its primary function is protecting sealed and loose ball bearings in critical areas such as headsets, bottom brackets, and wheel bearings.

Grease is also essential for pedal threads, bottom bracket threads, and various bolts, though dedicated anti-seize compounds are often preferred for threaded connections.

Bike chain lube

Bike chain lube (also called bicycle chain lubricant) is a specially engineered liquid designed to reduce friction between chain links.

While providing protection against wear and corrosion.

Unlike grease, chain lube penetrates into the chain's internal mechanisms, ensuring smooth operation under pedalling loads.

Modern bike chain lube formulations have been advanced significantly.

Today's premium lubes actively repel dirt and contamination while maintaining water resistance to prevent wash-off during Melbourne's unpredictable weather.

Quality chain lube is typically applied to your bike chain and derailleur pivot points for complete drivetrain optimisation.
