Then you have to hold the brush, spary the cleaner on and spin the wheel at the same time..... recipie for disaster.

Am I missing something?

By the shape of that, the chain would have to pass right through the middle of the can for it to work the way the picture shows.

Use a good lube on a hot chain and wipe it off after the 1st application to clean it, then reapply.

looks like a waste of $. Just keep it clean by using a good lube and wiping it with the engine off.


First of all, cbr rob suggsts you relube to clean. bad idea. Chain lubes have clay binders....after the lubricant is gone, dries up or sacrifices itself, these binders cling to the Triangle of death....where the oring meets the plates. if your brush bristles from the grunge brush were sticking and by passing your orings....dude...thats not a problem with the brush but the o-rings or the amount of thug pressure applied. Bristles noway should be getting past like you said. these orings move and incredible rpm's and must keep the OEM grease inside the pins and rollers.
2) um...yea....don't you own a rear stand? of-course you spray the chain first not the other way around ROB! then coil the brush on it and then slowly spin the back tire. I own one of these brushes and frankly, takes me 2 minutes to have a brilliantly spotless chain less deposits,grit, metal & sand particles around my o-ring. I know...I put it under a microscope to see how well it worked. (hey my buddy works in a lab and he wanted to know as did I.)
Old school methods are ancient...step into the new world of good solutions for dirty jobs.
Frankly, I posted this because I was a little miffed that someone said the grunge brush and the tirox brush were a waste of money. Both are good ideas and worth the money. You have to stop shopping at wallyword for your motorcycle stuff To me the Tirox 360 brush is now a tool in my toolbox and from the review in webikeworld, i think it has solved the cleaning chain issue I have read and searched myself for a better solution then a rag and kero. see the video also http://www.webbikeworld.com/r4/tirox...chain-cleaner/

Game set and match!!
