Chain cleaner dissolves old lubricant, road grit and metal particles from between chain links and around sprocket teeth before re-lubing, essential for proper lubricant adhesion and chain longevity. Using chain lube on a dirty chain traps abrasive grit inside the rollers and accelerates wear dramatically. The Bike Yard Kenya stocks chain cleaning sprays from Motul, Muc-Off and Castrol in aerosol and refillable brush-on bottles at prices from KES 900 to KES 2,800. Spray onto a warm chain, work with a chain brush, wipe clean and allow to dry fully before applying fresh lubricant. For heavily contaminated chains, particularly after off-road riding in Kenyan red soil, a second cleaning pass significantly improves results. Use a cardboard shield behind the chain to protect the rear tyre and brake disc from overspray.
