Foaming Chain Cleaner –
This is an spray on foam cleaner, once sprayed on to the chain, it is designed to stay in place while working on the effected area, making it far less messy during use. Used in conjunction with their chain cleaning sponge, this has a groove running along it’s length that neatly fits the chain. Run the chain through this after applying the foam, give everything a rinse off and your clean and ready for lubing up.
£8.99 500ml / £4.99 200ml
Disk Brake Cleaner –
With its triple solvent formula, nothing is too tough for Fenwick’s Disc Brake Cleaner & Dry Degreaser. By using 3 solvents and a powerful spray, it has a very broad range of uses, not just as an exceptionally efficient disc brake cleaner but for use on chains, cassettes, gear mechs, chainrings and rims. The end result is a perfectly dry, clean, contaminant-free surface.
£8.99 500ml / £4.99 200ml
Multi Purpose Lubricant –
This general purpose lube promises to instantly repels water and leaves a protective coating, ideal for the complete drivetrain, excelling in the cleaning and lubricating of cables, gear mechanisms and shifters. A good multi-purpose lube should also be able to help you in other areas too, dissolving sticker residue and road tar, and for loosening metal-to-metal bonds ie. freeing frozen, stuck or rusted components.
£5.99 500ml / £3.99 200ml
Suspension Lube Spray –
I always used to use multi-purpose lube for cleaning stantions after a ride, but since these special ’suspension lubes’ came about, I’ve not looked back. Fenwick’s Suspension Lube Spray has a super slick, silicon formula that coats fork stanchions and rear shock shafts, instantly improving suspension performance by eliminating stiction. The dirt repelling nature of the silicon also prevents mud from building up on exposed fork stanchions.
£8.99 500ml / £4.99 200ml
Stealth MTB Lube –
Fenwick’s Stealth Lube promises to be the best of the lubes available. From its deep penetration and super smooth lubrication to enhanced corrosion protection and long pasting properties. It also offers sound-deadening cushioning additives for an incredibly quiet ride, we’ll see how we get on with that. The Stealth lube has been optimised for use with other Fenwick’s products and for rapid removal in conjunction with Fenwick’s degreasers.
£19.99 250ml / £9.99 100ml
And it all comes together in a bucket for you to fill with soapy water to aid your cleaning. Once done, store it all back in the bucket, lid on, job done.
With the weather being like it is, I can’t see it being very long before this kist has had a proper good testing. I’ll be writing up my thoughts and findings very soon. In the mean time, get out there and get muddy.
