Clean Chain Brush

Dual-Sided Bristle System
Two distinct bristle configurations on a single tool — each engineered for a specific drivetrain surface geometry — eliminate the need for multiple brushes across a complete chain and drivetrain cleaning service.
11mm C-Shaped Bristles — All-Four-Side Chain Cleaning
The C-profile bristle head conforms to the chain's cross-section geometry and contacts all four sides of the chain simultaneously — inner link plates, outer link plates, rollers, and pin faces — in a single scrubbing pass. No repositioning, no missed surfaces.
55mm Long Bristles — Sprockets, Derailleurs & Drivetrain Components
Extended bristle length reaches deep into sprocket tooth valleys, between derailleur jockey wheels, across crankset chainrings, and into confined component spaces — removing the compacted grime accumulation that short-bristle brushes cannot reach.
Abrasion-Resistant Nylon Bristles
Bristle hardness calibrated for effective mechanical grime removal — firm enough to dislodge compacted deposits from chain and sprocket surfaces, flexible enough to conform to component geometry without deforming or shedding under repeated use.
High-Quality ABS Plastic Construction
Rigid ABS plastic body maintains structural integrity and shape through repeated cleaning cycles and solvent exposure — no warping, no flex fatigue, no bristle head separation under normal use loads.
Ergonomic Handle Design
Grip geometry designed for the sustained scrubbing motion and awkward angles required for thorough chain and sprocket cleaning — comfortable in hand, secure under scrubbing load, and effective in the confined spaces around the rear wheel and swingarm.
Universal Drivetrain Compatibility
Effective across all motorcycle chain types and sizes, bicycle drivetrains, sprockets, derailleurs, cranksets, and brake assemblies — a single tool for complete drivetrain maintenance across all two-wheeled vehicles in the workshop or garage.
Engineered for Use with Soltek Clean Chain
Designed to work in direct combination with Soltek Clean Chain Cleaner — the solvent loosens and dissolves grime, the Clean Chain Brush provides the mechanical agitation to dislodge and clear it completely. Together, they deliver a level of chain cleanliness that neither achieves independently.

Use Clean Chain Brush in conjunction with Soltek Clean Chain Cleaner for a complete, professional-grade chain cleaning result. Always follow chain cleaning with Soltek Chain Lubee lubrication.

1. Place the motorcycle on a centre stand or paddock stand, or the bicycle on a work stand — ensuring the rear wheel can rotate freely for full chain access.
2. Apply Soltek Clean Chain Cleaner generously across the entire chain length — allow 30–60 seconds for the solvent to penetrate and begin dissolving compacted grime and old lubricant residue.
3. Position the C-shaped bristle head of the Clean Chain Brush around the chain — the C-profile should wrap around the chain, contacting all four sides simultaneously.
4. Scrub along the chain length with firm, consistent strokes while slowly rotating the rear wheel — working the bristles through the full chain run from sprocket to sprocket. The simultaneous four-side contact cleans the entire chain profile in a single pass.
5. Apply additional Soltek Clean Chain Cleaner as needed during scrubbing — keep the chain and bristles wet with solvent throughout the cleaning process for maximum grime dissolution and removal.
6. Flip the brush to the 55mm long-bristle side and clean the rear sprocket teeth, front sprocket, derailleur jockey wheels (on bicycles), crankset chainring teeth, and any accessible brake and pedal components — working the bristles into tooth valleys and recessed areas with a back-and-forth scrubbing motion.
7. Apply a final flush of Soltek Clean Chain Cleaner across the chain and sprockets to rinse dislodged grime and brush debris clear of all surfaces.
8. Allow all components to dry completely — confirm the chain is clean and residue-free before lubrication.
9. Apply Soltek Chain Lubee to the clean, dry chain for complete chain care and protection.
10. Rinse the Clean Chain Brush thoroughly with clean water after use — remove all solvent and grime from both bristle heads and allow to air dry before storage.
11. Pro Tip: For heavily neglected chains with compacted, hardened grime, apply Soltek Clean Chain Cleaner and allow a 2–3 minute dwell before scrubbing — the extended soak time allows the solvent to penetrate deeper into the deposits, significantly reducing the scrubbing effort required and delivering a more complete clean in a single session.

Q: What is the difference between the two sides of the Clean Chain Brush?
The Clean Chain Brush features two distinct bristle configurations. The 11mm C-shaped bristle side wraps around the chain profile and simultaneously cleans all four sides of the chain — inner plates, outer plates, rollers, and pins — in a single pass. The 55mm long-bristle side is designed for cleaning sprocket teeth, derailleur components, crankset chainrings, and other drivetrain components where extended bristle reach into recessed areas is required.

Q: Can the Clean Chain Brush be used without Soltek Clean Chain Cleaner?
The brush can be used with any compatible chain cleaning solvent. However, it is specifically engineered to work with Soltek Clean Chain Cleaner — the solvent's formulation is designed to complement the brush's mechanical action, with the solvent dissolving and loosening deposits while the brush provides the physical agitation to dislodge and clear them completely.

Q: Is the Clean Chain Brush suitable for O-ring and X-ring motorcycle chains?
Yes. The nylon bristle hardness is calibrated to effectively clean chain surfaces and link interfaces without damaging O-ring or X-ring seals. Avoid aggressive scrubbing directly on the ring seals themselves — focus mechanical scrubbing on the outer link plates and rollers where grime accumulation is heaviest.

Q: How often should I clean my motorcycle chain with the Clean Chain Brush?
Full brush cleaning is recommended every 1,000–1,500 km under normal riding conditions, or whenever visible grime accumulation is present on the chain. In wet, muddy, or dusty riding conditions, more frequent cleaning is advisable. Always clean and re-lubricate after any ride in rain or off-road conditions.

Q: How do I clean the brush after use?
Rinse the Clean Chain Brush thoroughly with clean water after every use to remove solvent residue and dislodged grime from both bristle heads. Allow to air dry completely before storage. Avoid soaking in solvent for extended periods — prolonged solvent immersion can affect the ABS plastic body over time.

Q: Is the Clean Chain Brush compatible with bicycle drivetrains as well as motorcycle chains?
Yes. The Clean Chain Brush is compatible with all motorcycle chain types and all bicycle drivetrain configurations — including derailleur systems, single-speed drivetrains, cranksets, and jockey wheels. The 55mm bristle side is particularly effective for bicycle derailleur cleaning given the complex geometry of jockey wheel assemblies and front derailleur cages.
