No Oranges Were Harmed to Make this Degreaser

Pedro's Oranj Peelz Citrus Degreaser


If your preferred form of two-wheeled travel entails sweat, exertion and the occasional sore butt (as
opposed to loud mufflers, gray braids, and Harley-shop tee shirts), you’ve probably learned that one of the keys to keeping your machine at peak performance is keeping the chain in top condition. That means regular attention in the form of cleaning followed by treatment with a suitable lubricant. Whenever my chain feels like it needs some attention, I pull out the work stand and my Park Tool Cyclone Chain Scrubber and get down to business.

Although a small bottle of Park's Citrus ChainBrite came in the kit with the Cyclone, it was empty and the last time I hit my LBS they only had Pedro’s Oranj Peelz Citrus Degreaser in stock. It’s noticeably less expensive than the Park brand, and Pedro’s is a respectable name, so I bit.
