X-Tech T010 Bicycle Chain Cleaner Tool
Keep your bicycle chain clean and running smoothly with the X-Tech T010 Chain Cleaner Tool. Designed for quick and easy use, this tool allows you to clean your chain thoroughly without needing to remove it from the bike. Featuring a durable plastic casing, an efficient multi-brush system, and a built-in solvent reservoir, it ensures a deep clean to remove dirt, grime, and debris.
The X-Tech T010 is a reusable cleaning tool designed for long-term use. Its durable plastic housing and replaceable internal brushes ensure it can withstand multiple cleaning cycles, making it a cost-effective solution for regular chain maintenance. After each use, simply rinse out the reservoir, brushes, and sponge with water or degreaser, allowing them to dry before storing.
This cleaner is compatible with all types of chain lubrication, including traditional oil-based lubes and modern wax-based formulas like Squirt. Unlike harsh degreasers that can strip wax coatings completely, the X-Tech T010 allows for controlled cleaning, helping to remove dirt and grime while preserving the effectiveness of wax-based lubricants. This makes it ideal for cyclists who use dry lubes or waxed chains and want to maintain performance without excessive reapplication.
Key Features:
- Deep Cleaning Action – Multiple rotating brushes scrub your chain from all angles, removing dirt and grease efficiently.
- Solvent Reservoir – Built-in fluid chamber holds degreaser or cleaning solution, ensuring even distribution during use.
- Mess-Free Operation – The internal sponge helps control excess fluid, reducing drips and minimising mess.
- Universal Compatibility – Suitable for most bicycle chains, including multi-speed and single-speed models.
- Easy to Use – Simply clamp the device onto your chain, fill with solvent, and rotate the pedals for a hassle-free clean.
How the X-Tech T010 Bicycle Chain Cleaner Tool Works:
The X-Tech T010 is a self-contained cleaning system that scrubs and flushes contaminants from a bicycle chain as it moves through the device. It uses a combination of rotating brushes, a solvent reservoir, and a debris-trapping mechanism to provide a thorough clean without requiring chain removal.
Inside the tool, multiple rotating brushes engage the chain from all angles, dislodging dirt, grime, and old lubricant from the links and rollers. As the chain moves through, it passes through a solvent-filled reservoir, which further breaks down grease and stubborn contaminants. To prevent redistributing debris, a magnet at the base attracts metal particles, keeping them away from the chain during cleaning.
As the chain exits the device, a sponge wiper removes excess fluid, reducing drips and ensuring a cleaner, drier finish. This process helps restore chain performance by eliminating build-up, improving shifting smoothness, and extending the lifespan of drivetrain components.
- Fill the Reservoir – Open the top lid and pour in your preferred chain cleaning solution or degreaser. The built-in fluid chamber ensures the solvent is evenly distributed.
- Attach to the Chain – Position the cleaner over the chain and securely close the lid. The tool clamps onto the chain without needing to remove it from the bike.
- Rotate the Pedals – Hold the tool’s handle and backpedal slowly. As the chain moves through, multiple rotating brushes scrub off dirt, grease, and grime from all sides.
- Trap Debris – A magnet at the base of the reservoir collects metal particles and contaminants, preventing them from redepositing on the chain.
- Control Excess Fluid – A built-in sponge absorbs excess solvent as the chain exits, minimising drips and mess.
- Rinse & Dry – After cleaning, remove the tool, wipe down the chain with a dry cloth, and apply fresh lubricant to keep it running smoothly.

This easy-to-use tool makes chain maintenance quick and effective, helping extend the life of your drivetrain while keeping your ride smooth and efficient. A clean chain means a smoother ride and a longer lifespan for your drivetrain. The X-Tech T010 is an essential tool for any cyclist looking to maintain their bike with minimal effort.
