Say a very good video most i did know but now it makes sense i saw loads of videos where people did clean there anodysed parts in the ultrasonic cleaner and all complained about losing the coating. Now like you do it dont add heat in the UC. Thanks for the advice and i do clean all my bike parts in the UC and im very pleased. Thx 4 the video😊

I've been trying to shop for this but, nobody ever mentioned what volume do we need, 3l,5,6, 10 or more Liter in order to be able to completely submerge a 40T cassete inside together with front 54t front cogs chains and other drivetrain parts? what frequency & wattage should the device be capable of for for most efficiency? what detergent should one use? they sell some detergent with the device but, can one use just water and dish detergent and a bit of aceton, thinner isopropyl alcohol or some other sort of industrial degreaser. These are question I wish they answered with this video.

Hi, thank you for great content. Really appreciated and useful for a home mechanic. I was just wondering if you dillute the degreaser or use it concentrated?

It’s a water soluble one, so we use it neat and wash it off when we wash the parts as they come out.

Great video, it makes me want to go out and buy an ultrasonic cleaner! Do you change the degreaser depending on what you put in, or can it last a couple of "goes" so to speak? Keep up the very good work!

@Bikespeeds 2 жыл бұрын

It actually lasts quite a while, it will loose it’s efficiency & you’ll naturally know when to change it. The degreasers cheap as chips so it’s no big deal to swap it. I buy the degreaser 2 or 3 at a time depending on the time of year.

Hi, thanks for the great tip about anodising. I’ve made that mistake before and had dull parts coming out. How long do you leave things in the ultrasonic cleaner? I’m concerned that if left long enough, anodised parts would also be affected on a cold setting. Only just found your channel and I’m really enjoying the videos so far - cheers!

@paulw677 Жыл бұрын

what size cleaner would you recommend for a home mechanic that is looking mainly to clean chains and cassettes? I'm guessing you could half the size of your 6L cleaner. Bench and storage space is at a premium! Thanks

@Bikespeeds Жыл бұрын

You can make and reasonable size work, we initially had a 4L I believe and just put less in it at one time and turned what was in it🧡

Thank you so much for your videos. I just have one question. I've almost exactly copied your setup, however I think Screwfix have updated the No Nonsense Heavy Duty Degreaser. It now specifies it's "concentrated" on the front. Do you still get this one and are you using it neat? I've just tried it the first time this evening with the degreaser diluted and I'm quite disappointed.

Great video, just joined the channel 👍 Thinking of buying an ultrasonic cleaner just for my own home use. I noticed you have used at least two different cleaners in your videos and wondered if you could comment on both in terms of quality and capacity *what size; only see my doing one bike at a time) for home use. Don't want to waste money on something cheap and nasty but at same time probably don't need professonal shop quality?

Hi, we’ve had multiple ultrasonic cleaners over the years, they tend to break lol, for home work a 3L ultrasonic cleaner will fit everything with a little work, we use a 6L in the shop, thanks for watching🧡

Does ultrasonic cleaning remove surface rust?

@Bikespeeds 2 жыл бұрын

No, it runs an ultrasonic wax through the solution in it, it will only remove loose particles, like oil mud & grime I like it because it gets into places you simple can’t with fingers and rags! Rust still needs work

@alfiec9623 2 жыл бұрын

How often do you refill the ultrasonic cleaner?

@stefhirsch6922 2 жыл бұрын

Some ultrasonic cleaners have a filter to trap the dirt. The degreaser keeps working but if it has too many contaminants it stops being able to clean as effectively. It also depends on how dirty the stuff that you put into the cleaner is as well as how much you use it for bikes, car parts, guns, tools…. A bike shop that I used to work at replaced the degreaser every 1-2 weeks. A 50-50 solution of water and simple green was what we used and it worked well. It hot weather or if the cover is left off of the cleaner the fluid would evaporate and we would put a little more water into it.

What is the washing basin that you use for scrubbing everything down afterward? Our shop just relocated and we don’t have a shop sink anymore. Would love to get my hands on something similar. Thanks!

@Bikespeeds 2 жыл бұрын

It’s currently a bucket! A lot of what we do for the videos is slightly different to the day to day running of the shop, to keep everything in one location for filming. We have a sink we use “normally” we have plans in place for a counter top with sink a bit like a cooking show to make this look a bit more interesting soon.
