Muc-Off Bio Degreaser 500ml

It rinses away completely with water instead of needing to be wiped off, so no residue is left behind to attack seals or interfere with fresh lube. It is also far less harsh on rubber and plastics than a solvent degreaser.

Anywhere you want grease to stay: hub bearings, bottom brackets, headsets and pivot bushings. And never on disc rotors or pads.

Rinse the worst off with low pressure, degrease and clean the drivetrain first so its grime does not run over clean paint, then wash the frame and wheels, rinse, dry, and lubricate the chain last. Doing the chain first and the frame second is the single commonest mistake.

Muc-Off list it as effective against waterproof grease and chain lube residue, which is the build-up most mild cleaners leave behind.

Do not pour drivetrain runoff into a storm drain. Degreaser and old chain lube carry heavy metal particles from the chain. Let the solids settle in a bucket, dispose of the residue with solid waste, and pour the rest onto ground rather than into a drain.

Because of the salt and the humidity. Water left standing in bolt heads, on the chain and around the cassette starts corrosion quickly on the coast. Dry the bike, then lubricate - ten minutes that adds years to a drivetrain.

For most of the year around Dar es Salaam you are riding in heat and fine dust, which is dry-lube territory - a dry or wax lube leaves a drier film that dust does not stick to. Switch to a wet lube through the long rains in March to May and the short rains in November and December, when washing off matters more than staying clean.
