We have learned to know Mariposa effect for his attention to the environment with high-performance plant-based and biodegradable products. Maintenance is also part of the excellence of the Swiss company. For those who want to treat their transmission with care and efficiency, the Swiss catalogue offers the Chain eater that sinks its six rotating brushes between the chain links.
And the Cog Brush, a sturdy and practical brush for the most stubborn dirt.
Chain thoroughly cleaned
The first chain cleaner equipped with lamellar elements at both ends, so that the chain can be cleaned scrolling in both directions, ideal for e-bike. An innovation to which Mariposa effect has accustomed us with its range of original products for the bike. Chain eater is equipped with six rotating brushes and a sturdy handle.
The chain runs straight, tight at both ends between the plastic slats (PE) with the task of keeping as much solvent as possible inside. An ideal combination to exploit all the advantages of the device is with the biodegradable degreaser Allpine Extra.
The washing is done by the six rotating brushes, continuously soaked in cleaning liquid, which actively remove dirt on each side, pushing the solvent inside the meshes.
Without waste
There's nothing wrong with cleaning your chain with a regular brush or brush and a can of chain remover. However, that method wastes a lot of liquid and doesn't achieve a thorough clean, unless you're willing to disassemble the chain and soak it in the remover. But precisely to avoid disassembly and still clean thoroughly, Mangiacatena was developed.
The materials chosen and the construction are designed for a long life thus avoiding further wasteA complete set of replacement brushes is also available, the Chain eater Replacement Kit, to replace what wears out.
To confirm this, elements have been adopted with PE slats at both ends, instead of the more common sponges, for greater durability and resistance. The Chain Eater is available on the site at a price of 29,99 euros, while the Chainsaw Replacement Kit has a price of 7,99 euro.
