Park Tool CB-4 Bio ChainBrite
Park Tool CB-4 Bio ChainBrite is a chain- and drivetrain-specific cleaner formulated to work inside chain-cleaning tools and safely remove oil and grit without harming seals or bearings. As a technical, purpose-built product it complements whole-bike washes on this list by addressing the more aggressive solvents often required for chains while retaining a biodegradable profile; it’s typically a better financial value for drivetrain maintenance because it reduces the need for repeated scrubbing or premature component replacement. Compared with general spray washes, CB-4 is the safer, more effective choice when cleaning the chain and cassette.
