Remove the Grime and Dirt Off Your Bicycle Components Without the Use of Harsh Solvents
For many years, a drum of petroleum, mineral-based spirits would be used to clean the gunk off a bicycle's drivetrain. At Bickel's, we've swapped out this old method for an innovative, eco-friendly alternative using sonic tanks to clean bicycle drivetrains.
This new method involves placing chains, cassettes, and derailleurs into a basket inside a sonic tank filled with water and light detergent. The tank heats up and ultrasonic vibrations clean the parts. Next, the parts are moved to a second heated oil tank where ultrasonic vibrations are used for lubrication. Once done, the parts are removed to dry.
According to Chris Bonar, long-time mechanic at Bickel's, it’s a win-win situation. “This not only eliminates the need for harsh petroleum products but it also provides a superior clean (reaching the nooks and crannies of bicycle components) while being gentle on our hands.”
