Techcote Chain Cleaner

Best thing I've used on a chain. It's just a spray on the chain, leave it then wipe it off with a dry cloth. Chain comes up looking like new.

FYI it's currently 41 pence per litre inc Vat Rossgo( I just brought 1000 litres).Rossgo wrote:I need some chain cleaner soon actually. I'll order some up i think and try it out. I want to try paraffin as heard it's cheap for loads and good cleaner too!!
Quite an increase since I filled the Tank just over a year ago, when it cost me only about 28ppl, but still quite a lot cheaper than it has been (& will be, of course).

Re: Techcote Chain Cleaner
Wow 1000 litres! What have you filled for that amount of paraffin? 41ppl is not at all bad when you compare it to 10 quid for 400ml for muc off or simliarStMarks wrote:FYI it's currently 41 pence per litre inc Vat Rossgo( I just brought 1000 litres).Rossgo wrote:I need some chain cleaner soon actually.

Thanks for the heads up. Where did you get that from?

Re: Techcote Chain Cleaner
I got it from Rix Petroleum. Heating oil ( aka Kerosene or Paraffin) is my main heating source, as there is no gas supply anywhere near my house ( or even the closest village )
When I built my home I had wanted to fit a groundsource heat pump into an air circulating heat exchanger. Unfortunately the technology then was very rare, underdeveloped & ( mainly as a consequence of it's poor availability ) priced beyond my reach at that time.

StMarks this sounds a good enough reason to use that much kerosene!StMarks wrote:I got it from Rix Petroleum. Heating oil ( aka Kerosene or Paraffin) is my main heating source, as there is no gas supply anywhere near my house ( or even the closest village )

Re: Techcote Chain Cleaner
Couldn't be bothered to do a full scrub today but this is how the chain came up with a spray of this cleaner and a wipe with an old towel.

Re: Techcote Chain Cleaner
Looks like my kind of product! I'm still yet to give the Multi a clean but the chain still looks sweet, justvthe every growing collection of bugs I should see too sooner than later.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Re: Techcote Chain Cleaner
They're blue bricks darling. Cobbles are common
The brick kiln used for making the bricks for the houses in my street was situated in our garden. When I first moved in I tried to tidy the garden up but found it was full of broken bricks.
Polish workers wouldn't have left that sort of mess behind.
