Pedros, Pig Pen II, Drivetrain Maintenance Kit,Pink

This seems like a cool product, however the main selling point is that it can attach to the rear derailleur on a geared bike so the person need only spin the crank backwards. If you have a single speed or internally geared hub, that derailleur hook literally just gets in the way and you have to remove it (the instructions say this). Once you've done that, if you don't have a bike stand, you're in for major frustration balancing the bike and holding the pig and spinning the crank. I gave it a 3 for product quality but it was a waste of money for my situation.

The Pig works and it is fun! The degreaser was ok as was the dry lube. Protect the surface (s) beneath the chain area as dripping is plentiful.

I used my Pig Pen yesterday to clean both my road and mountain bikes and I love the hands free element (not to say my hands didn't get a little dirty wiping chain down afterwards). Directions said to rotate chain approx 20 times but I found you really need to spend 2-3 minutes rotating crank for a truly thorough clean. As a female with 1/4 inch fingernails, I found the lid a bit tough to open.

The low quality plastic doesn't seem super durable but damn this thing works like a champ! Does make a bit of a mess so move the bike out of the house or garage & definitely near a water source for easier water rinsing after. 2 uses so far & dig it.

This was easy to use even if my bike didn't have a reverse spin of the chain. I just flipped it around and held it while I cranked the pedals. I used the pig juice and it was excellent at degreasing and cleaning the chain. Highly recommended.

One has to be careful of breaking the unit when using it (I haven't but read that before and can tell why) but other than that, it works great on getting and keeping my chain clean!

I was disappointed on first use as the chain kept sticking, but operation gets better. Suggest thoruughly soak the sponge before use.
