Pure Bike Degreaser review

Pure Bike Degreaser
Cycling Weekly Verdict

Once on and left alone for a couple of minutes, the degreaser seemed to do the job, especially when given a little extra encouragement with an old sponge. With its price and environmental credentials, it makes a good addition to any bike cleaning kit.

Finding an environmentally friendly bike-cleaning product is always music to my ears.

A clear liquid with a pleasant smell of citronella, I initially wondered if it was up to the job.

Dispensing the degreaser via a small 250ml trigger spray bottle, it was easy to apply.

Its low viscosity did mean that it ran off the chain and cassette, which led me to apply a pretty generous dose in order to ensure both were fully covered.
