I'm a great fan of using a Scottoiler as way keeping your chain lubricated correctly and thus helping prolong it's life, new to the UK is this little gizmo aptly named the "Chain Scrubber".

The box contains a few stiff nylon brushes that clean your chain as you spin the rear wheel, all you have to do is pour in some of the supplied Sludge Away chain cleaner, clip the Chain Scrubber around your chain and rotate the bikes rear wheel a few times.

The results are amazing, in just a few minutes you have a nice clean chain that has no more left over chain lube or grit compacted around the links, So no more messing about with old toothbrushes and tins of cleaner or paraffin, no more spilling chain cleaner onto your rear tyre, just let this gizmo do the work for you.

This product is one of the very few items available that does what it states perfectly.
