Hope1963: Hilfreich bei Putzaktionen an engen schwer zugänglichen Stellen (Zahnkranz usw.) Ich finde die Schnüre echt gut.

MLS: I used this to deep clean the chain rings and get the gunk out of the tight spaces of the bike. Definitely soak the floss with degreaser prior to using it on bike. Easy to use.

C. Purkl: Grundsätzlich robuste und 100% funktionierende Finish Line. Sie sind so trocken angeliefert, das man von Reinigung- oder Poliereffekt kaum etwas wahrnimmt. Funktioniert dennoch. Halten lange, kam mit 2 - 3 Stück gut hin 2 Motorradfelgen intensiv zu bearbeiten. Ergebnis auch gut. Für schwer erreichbare Stellen eine gute Sache. Habe sie selbst in Reinigungsmittel leicht getränkt.

Flycop2000: The floss works well at cleaning between the cassette cogs but it's expensive for what it is.

HikerBiker: I can just imagine a shoe lace manufacturer looking at a bad lot of shoe laces. "They're too short and loose, no-one will buy these. What are we going to do?" (for some reason they have an Italian accent in my head).

"I know, we'll sell them to cyclists to clean their cassettes"

"You're a genius, Giuseppe, that'sa what we'll do"

So that's what they did and this is the best way to clean a cassette without removing it. Seriously, I know they were carefully designed for their purpose.

You could probably clean them and reuse them but I'm not sure it's worth it. One of them can clean a cassette especially as I have a bucket of hot soapy water with me because I'm cleaning my bike. Get it wet and soapy and the grime comes right off. Rinse it every few sprockets.

One other nice thing is that, unlike a brush, they don't spray greasy water all over the place. You can use them indoors without fouling the floor and walls and other parts of the bike. I totally recommend them.

sjcruiser36: Gear Floss is the quickest and easiest option for cleaning your cassette without taking it off. It's also good for getting dirt and debris out of those small or tight spaces where a brush or rag can't fit!!!

Cross Training: Works great. Cleans front chain ring and rear cogs on cassette. Also cleans gear wheels in rear derailleur.

Recommended in the book "Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance" which I love. Most repairs and maintenance I do myself, rarely need to take to a bike shop.

I do not understand the negative reviews, the gear floss works just great for me. No unraveling of material, stayed together and removed grease and road grime. Only need to use every few weeks or months. May need to use more for a mountain bike in mud, but I'm road only.

Will order again.
