Ultimate Guide to Effortless Drivetrain Cleaning

Ultimate Guide to Effortless Drivetrain Cleaning

When it comes to maintaining your bike’s performance, keeping the drivetrain clean is non-negotiable. But let’s face it—we’d all rather share a post-ride beverage with our riding friends than scrubbing away at grease and grime. That’s where Formula 100 Speed Clean Chain + Drivetrain Cleaner steps in, turning a once tedious task into a quick and easy process, AND you can still enjoy that tasty beverage.

Why Your Drivetrain Deserves Formula 100

Your drivetrain gets worked hard, and over time, it collects layers of dirt, grease, and grime. Not only does this gunk slow you down, but it can also lead to costly wear and tear. Enter Formula 100’s advanced drivetrain degreaser—a powerhouse solution designed to clean your drivetrain thoroughly without the elbow grease.

Our Speed Clean Chain + Drivetrain Cleaner features a unique thixotropic gel formula that starts as a liquid to penetrate deep into the nooks and crannies of your drivetrain. Once applied, it transforms into a gel, clinging to components like chains, derailleurs, chainrings, and cassettes for a comprehensive clean.

The Science Behind the Clean: Grease Release Technology

At the heart of our cleaner is Grease Release Technology. This innovation actively breaks down the chemical bonds that grease and grime form with your drivetrain components. Safe for all surface finishes of your bike and various frame materials, Speed Clean Drivetrain Cleaner effortlessly dissolves and lifts away dirt and crud while ensuring your bike’s finish remains untouched.

Why Cyclists Love Formula 100

Unlike other products on the market, Formula 100 Speed Clean Chain + Drivetrain Cleaner offers a hassle-free cleaning experience. Here’s what sets it apart:

  • Fast Acting: Simply spray, wait, and rinse—it’s that easy.
  • Complete Clean: Its gel consistency ensures every inch of your drivetrain gets attention.
  • Safe and Material-Friendly: Acid-free and water-soluble, it’s gentle on your bike and it’s components.
  • Time-Saving Innovation: Spend less time cleaning and more time riding.


Step-by-Step: How to Use Formula 100 Speed Clean Chain + Drivetrain Cleaner

Achieving a spotless drivetrain has never been easier. Just follow these simple steps:

  1. Shake Well: Give the bottle a good shake to activate the formula.
  2. Spray: Apply generously to your drivetrain components.
  3. Wait: Let it sit for 5–10 minutes (up to 15 minutes for stubborn grime). Pro Tip: This is a perfect time to enjoy that cold beverage. Optional Scrub: For heavy buildup, lightly brush the chain links with the Formula 100 drivetrain brush (avoid wire brushes).
  4. Rinse: Thoroughly rinse with water to reveal a spotless drivetrain. Don’t worry. Speed Clean Chain + Drivetrain Cleaner bonds a hydrophobic coating that let’s crud rinse away without causing corrosion or rust. Pro Tip: To prevent overspray, cover friction areas like brake discs, pads, and tire treads. If overspray occurs, wipe it off and rinse the affected area.
  5. Protect: Once dry, apply a coat of Formula 100 Chain Lube to keep your chain running smoothly.
