Your chain takes the brunt of the winter weather and is particularly vulnerable to wear on the salt-ridden, greasy roads at this time of year.

Keeping it in top condition, therefore, takes on an added importance if you want to keep rolling through winter and a chain bath is one means of doing just that.

Park Tool’s offering, the CM5, uses an extra-large solvent reservoir and a series of rotating brushes, which scrub the chain’s side plates and clean inside the rollers.

A sturdy handle makes the tool easy to use, while the nylon casing is built to last.
