Winter is the most important time of the year to clean your bike. The roads and usually covered in debris from the fields and the rain seems to lay on the surface longer, as temperatures make it harder for the roads to dry. Add to this, the salt that is laid down to melt the ice, and you’ve got a recipe for dirty bikes and clogged up drivetrains.
It’s always best to clean your bike as soon as you’ve finished the ride. This way, the dirt hasn’t set hard and it won’t yet have started to damage any components on the drivetrain. Yes, debris and dirt from the road can shorten the life of your chain and cause issues with the rear derailleur too, leaving you needing replacements. Bolts on the bottle cages and elsewhere, such as the around the headset, will also show signs of deterioration, and your pristine bike will simply look unloved.
Thankfully, we’ve got some great cleaning products in store and online, and they make super gift ideas for cyclists. From cleaning brush sets, chain cleaners, to a multitude of oils and bike shampoos, there’s something for everyone!

The most important part of your winter cleaning regime should always be the bike chain. If that’s not working properly, then you simply won’t be going anywhere; and all those metal links need looking after and ensuring that there’s no dirt and debris and road salt, that might cause issues or even cause some rust to show. Once you’ve finished every ride, take a piece of cloth and wipe the chain and then use this great chain cleaner from Muc-Off, to get into the chain links and remove all the dirt and particles.
It’s a simple and easy to use device, that simply fastens around the chain, and as you turn the cranks, the brushes work their magic to get into every part of the chain. Included in the kit is a 75ml measure of Muc-Off Drivetrain Cleaner. This revolutionary little liquid can be either sprayed over the drivetrain or poured directly into the top reservoir of the machine, which is then released by a control button. This ensures the application of the cleaner is quick and easy to control. The X-3 machine and Drivetrain Cleaner partner up to attack the worst of grease and grime from every possible angle to deliver the ultimate, deep clean on even the dirtiest bike chains.
The abrasive cleaning teeth and rotating brush wheels which have 120 contact points cover all areas of the individual chain link for a deep and thorough clean. Finally, the excess dirty fluid drops into a second lower reservoir so it’s kept away from the clean chain. Show your bike some extra love with the Muc-Off Chain Cleaner, ensuring that your rides stay smoother for longer and servicing intervals are also extended.
