Questions & Answers

There are a couple of differences between the new 5 and the 4. Both the 3.0 and the 5.0 versions of the software are available. ?

The main difference I can see is the 5. I had an earlier version, so the 5 is the main thing that I see. In version 3, more durable material is used, less brittle plastic is used. As well, the clips that hold it in place seem to be more in place. In addition to having a handle on either side, this version can also be located on the top. There is a reason for that, I believe - to facilitate A bike on which the chain is run in the opposite direction from a road bike will need to be cleaned in the opposite direction.

This is my first blog post, so please excuse my ignorance. What performance improvements did you notice after using this tool to clean your chain?

The number of chains dropped is reduced). Furthermore, dirty chains wear out chain rings &amp keep them from working as well A cassette is faster than a CD. It is a very useful tool. Degrease your machine with a good degreaser, too, and you'll be fine.

In order to clean the Chain Scrubber itself, I have to collect all the grease and dirt that has fallen off the chain and collected in the cleaner itself?

Probably a degreaser would be useful to get rid of the buildup, and then a cloth or paper towel to remove any remaining residue.

The bicycle chain cleaner has to be opened in a certain way. How is that done?

The silver metal clips on the ends of the cord must be removed. When the clips are opened up, the top of the bag can be opened completely.

Selected User Reviews For Park Tool cm-5.3 Cyclone Bicycle Chain Scrubber

One of the best chain scrubbers on the market
5/5

You should buy Park with your money! A chain cleaner that gets the best results. My clips that hold the shells together break off after a few uses after using the other ones. Park's chain cleaner is equipped with clips on both sides that wrap around the whole assembly. This is a much more secure and sturdy option. Designed and built in the United States. In this way, the cleaning action really penetrates the links and scrubs out the dirt. Initially, I brush Simple Green full strength on the chain and allow it to sit for a few minutes before following up with another brushing. My cleaner is then filled with a 50/50 mixture of Simple Green and water. You should run the chain through 30 times or more per direction. The scrubber should then be rinsed and filled with the Repetition is key. The water in the scrubber should be almost clean by this point, and the chain is shining. Rinse the scrubber, then fill it with clean water, and run it back and forth one more time. Prior to lubricating the chain, ensure that it is completely dry.

Isn't as thorough as a close shave but better than having to wash it on a daily basis
3/5

It has several things I like, so let me start with that. Ultimately it makes you more likely to maintain your chain more often because it is easy to use. A messy chain cleaning task is included in this section. Afterwards, it is relatively easy to clean out. The type of oil that can be distributed with this type of pump is Here is a list of things I dislike. A bristle gets lodged in a chain link. Sadly, it does not get rid of the dirt and mung on the chain on all sides.
I am wondering if brushes are durable as I had to pull bristles from my chain during cleaning. This is better than nothing, however, I am checking out other brands as well.

How do you get the bristles back on after using them? A lot of the bristles flew out of the park tool after first use, but were encased in it
3/5

This seems normal to me, is it not? This is an excellent I am doubtful about the quality of this, but it appears to work. A parktool representative will be in touch.

Achieved more than we expected
5/5

I do have to admit that I was somewhat skeptical about this cleaner, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. It came out slick as a whistle after using Simple Green 1/2 to 1/2 with water. Using Park Tool chain oil, I oiled the chain after it had been dried with compressed air. I highly recommend it for the do-it-yourself enthusiast An independent learner.

Invest your money in something that is worthwhile
5/5

The majority of the time, you're able to clean it once you figure out the position and direction. I did not realize there was a slash zone when I ran the soap through the slash zone (nothing wrong, but did not realize the soap splashes out). As a first timer, I am trying to do things correctly and use appropriate methods to take care of a new bike. Although it was probably just my imagination, when I rode it for the first time after cleaning and lubing, it felt smooth as if it were brand new.

The design of the chain cleaning system is great and extremely easy to use
5/5

Chain scrubber works quickly and gets your chain clean with little effort. After mixing 50 percent Simple Green and 50 percent water, I saw the water become murky after about 20 seconds. It took a few more cycles of cleaning the reservoir with fresh degreaser until I had a chain that looked brand I am glad to see that all of the debris is no longer attached to my chain after draining the reservoir and looking in the bottom. The chain lube has gone on fresh and has made the chain slick.

The chain cleaner is an excellent tool for cleaning In order to maintain my bicycle, I got it from the shop
5/5

It used to be that I brought my bicycle to the shop for tune-ups As a result of the current stay-at-home order, the order will not change. Using this small tool, you can easily clean the chains on the bicycles. It is easy for you to use it I don't want to have to clean up so much mess when cleaning the tool. The only issue I have with this tool is the cleanup however, the tool is easy to use and doesn't leave degreaser puddles in my garage.

This product cleans my bike chain
5/5

Despite the fact that my old one is not worn out, I had to buy a new one. With my new eMTB, I must run the chain in the opposite direction of travel. The handle of this cleaner can be placed on the back, allowing the cleaner to accommodate that need. It works great if you use citrus cleaner from Home Depot.
