I’ve been using a cheap ebay ultrasonic cleaner to clean the drive chain (cassette and chain), on my carbon commuter bike for over a year now.

It’s been fantastic and I use it all the time, but is it something you should consider buying?

I’ll be going into detail around the ultrasonic cleaner I chose, the pros and cons, and whether you should pick one up yourself!

Got any questions or comments, stick them below and I'll try and get back to as many of you as I can!

About Trace Velo:
I love cycling, and I love getting pro cycling kit for less. If it’s cheap, from China, and made of carbon fibre, I’m interested!
