@@LatinaDevourer yes, It Is a degreaser but it will create a "soap" layer on your rotor and on your first drive after use wd40 the brake will be affected. Not permanently but it can be dangerous if you don't know it
I use regular wd-40 for cleaning chains and parts regularly. In fact back in the 90's most BMX'ers only used wd-40 regular for keeping chains running smooth ,yet this is done daily.
I know I thought that at first, bit of a mind game because we relate WD-40 to a lubricant, but this product is a degreaser, which can actually help your brakes, but at the same time washes the fine brake dust off so it could decrease braking power for a little but it wont ruin your brakes. The original WD-40 was a lubricant but a degreaser at the same time, I always use to blast grease from bearings to clean.
@@jimk3184 So it's degreaser, not brakleen then... I wouldn't go anywhere near my brakes with a degreaser usually.. and I use degreasers most days... but having said that.. I haven't used WD40 Degreaser. What it needs to say is after using a degreaser on your chain.. you need to make sure you get rid of the degreaser from within the chain joints and re-grease the chain... the grease was in there for a reason!
@@Wisteria-090 It depends on the level of overhaul you are doing. Let me try to explain it from just basic cleaning to extreme overhaul a) Basic wash- dont put degreaser spray anywhere because the process should be degrease-wash-dry-regrease. And since regreasing the affected components would require you to open up the wheel, a simple wash should always be detergent or soap and water(try not to use high speed jet as they pull out imp grease from places). Use brushes (even paintbrushes) to reach difficult places. I would like to emphasize that lubing a chain should be done carefully. Do not over lube it and once you have put the lube and it has worked its way inside the chain links then always wipe off the extra lube. There should not be any lube on the cassette- It should be completely dry. otherwise THIS extra oil becomes the greased dirt that sticks to the cassette and pulley wheels and is hard to clean without a degreaser. Otherwise mud and dirt can be cleaned by soap and detergent. b) if you are doing complete overhaul- i.e. taking out the cassette, axle, ball bearings etc. then you can use whatever spray you want or diesel as well. Clean. Then clean again with soap. Wash. Dry. And then assemble with fresh grease. Here please take good care of disc brakes and rotors and if possible cover then up while degreasing the nearby surfaces and also clean the rotors with soap. Another point is he freehub body which is often overlooked. It has a lot of tiny bearings inside and is difficult to pull apart and service. So if you fear a lot of degreaser has gone inside and removed the previous grease considerably then try what RJ the bike guy suggested in one of the videos titled "How to fix a sticky freehub". basically drip oil inside the space of the freehub body.
Basically degreasing is easy but you should know at each step what ALL is being degreased (directly and indirectly) so that you can make a note to regrease it was well. Do not bike on only degreased parts it will cut the life of the part short. Lemme know if you have any specific issues. And if you are just asking how to perfectly clean and degrease ONLY the cassette then take it out of the hub using the tool and then clean it separately with spray or solvent. And then once done you can put it back.
@@rajagoswami277 I have some muc off dry lube and thinking of getting some degreaser. It's been 2 months since I got my bike. Thank you! That's a lot of info ive got :) I'll prolly do some light cleaning rn and do a full clean some time later!
Just take it off properly and wash it with the chain, then lube. This method can potentially introduce this degreaser into the hub. And we wouldn't want that now, would we ?
Much debate over chain and cassette cleaning. It's a just opinion though as there are too many variables to say what is best to do. From personal experience I know that cleaned chains last longer but leaving as long as possible before performing a degrease is also good because once you strip out the factory lube on a chain you'll find it really difficult to get your chain lubricated to that standard again. And if degreaser finds its way in to the free hub bearings or wheel bearings they won't last unless they too are regreased. Along with rear derailleur pivots and jockey wheels. Take a bit more care than this video suggests.
It's totally fine to degrease derailleur pivots and jockey wheels. Once the chain is lubricated before drying off excess lube, run the chain through a couple cycles. That gets the grease back in.
I watched another GCN video who acknowledges the would-be impact to hub bearings but says it can be re-lubed, so it's better to degrease the entire cassette that manner than not degreasing at all.
Found that one out today...bike mechanic saw my clean cassette and could smell it. I was there to replace the two smaller sprockets on the cassette. He ended up completely disassembling the rear hub and regreasing the sealed bearings as best he could by removing the seals. I've learnt my lesson, have been told and paid more for the cock up.
No problem, if it doesnt work for you, you have probably bad pads and bad rotors. With feathering my brakes they are still on full lock. Bike wash incl wax, decreaser, foam cleaner, they handle it all
This is a bike degreaser version of WD-40, there's nothing wrong with getting it on the disc brakes. Normal WD-40 has lubricant in it and that must not touch the disc brakes at all. This one is fine though
Nathan Dunkley: Yes there’s a lot wrong with it. In this video the spray once hitting the cassette picks up/dissolves contaminated oils which are then transported in the overspray to the rotor and/or pads. Anyone with a modicum of experience with disc brakes knows this is highly problematic.
Dan Sotelo a degreaser does not contaminate discs you moron, actually if there contaminated degreaser solves the problem, bearing damage is true, never allow degreaser reach your bearings
Is this worth getting cause a lot of people are saying not to spray it others saying it works fine. Would spraying it on a cloth and rubbing the chain work better then?
IMORT4L DARKNe$S no it’s not you have to clean it or cover it because the brake will not work as good if you don’t remove it same with any chain lube even dry lube and grease keep it as far away as possible from the brake rotor
Just use WAX LUBE of any kind, no grease/oil will get on your bike, and you won't have to use hard chemicals, or detergents that eventually get into bearings they shouldn't, wax lube is clean, your bike will always be clean and you only use water to clean it, no chemicals to do damage to wheel bearings, suspension, cranks, headsets, brakes, levers, etc.. wax is clean, even get more watts to the wheels, longer drivetrain life..
What about getting it on the brake pads? I would think you would want to remove the wheel before cleaning. And Isolate the chain from the brake caliper when cleaning the chain. Or just remove the brake pads before spraying any cleaning stuff on the bike.
Might be bad for your hub, wouldn‘t worry for the brakes though... but think of where you wash it off, its certainly extremely agressive and should in no case get in touch with your skin and/or nature

People commenting about getting the degreaser on their disc brakes. Don't people also wipe the disc clean with brake cleaner and a disposable shop towel after lubricating their chain, or am I the only one that does this as normal routine maintenance?
It is bad if u can't get the water out of the degreased components. Washing your bike with water is completely normal as all the necessary components should be greased up.

no because road bike chains and cassettes are made of sandwiches
I fill the bathtub with WD40 and put the entire bike in there, good as new 👌
People commenting about getting the degreaser on their disc brakes. Don't people also wipe the disc clean with brake cleaner and a disposable shop towel after lubricating their chain, or am I the only one that does this as normal routine maintenance?
I use a fine led powder and degreeing is never needed.
What is a cassette?
when you put that thing on your chain it splashes on the disk ... how is it supposed to grab your brake
Rip disc brake
wahahahaha true
@@rosandroabergas311 you think they are made from EGGS :D???? definitly not rip if you will not use too much pressure of water after this.
to be more precisely, this is totaly different product than normal wd-40:D
@@inGoodMood yea,but when comes one time on brake pads they are dead,not disc.disc you can clean.
@@inGoodMood water is not problem for brake pads.
From where i can buy it ? Not available in my country
or use super Ajax degreaser, dishwashing liquid or any dishwashing liquid.
isnt that water step quite bad for all the components ?
It is bad if u can't get the water out of the degreased components. Washing your bike with water is completely normal as all the necessary components should be greased up.
Need to make bearing grease
I'm no expert but should this product be liberally sprayed onto brake components as shown? I thought that was a big NO NO.
how much is w40🙏🙂
I think 6 dollars
