Bike chain cassette brush

On: 2009-04-17

I purchased this brush to clean our bicycle chain and cassette. While it is good for digging out dirt inside the cassette with the plastic end, the brush did not stand up too well after about 4 uses. I used bicycle recommended degreaser first to loosen the dirt and grime on the cassette and then the brush to remove it. While some brush hairs fell out, the brush lost shape. I went back to an old tooth brush, much more economical.

For the price for a brush probably made in China for 50 cents this brush could be said to be over priced.

Park Tools may want to rethink the marketing of this brush as I have some of their tools and have no complaint.

Very Handy Tool

This gear cleaning brush is an essential part of my kit. While the brush is useful (a toothbrush would suffice), the thing I like best is the hooked end. It is perfect for cleaning in between the teeth of your rear freewheel or cassette.
