Rinse off with water using a brush or sponge.Biodegradable cleanerKind to the environment1 litre bottle with trigger sprayIdeal for e-bikesNice pine scent
The Effetto Mariposa Mangiacatena Chain Cleaner is for quick and effective chain cleaning without the need to remove the chain from the bike, use a chain cleaning tool rather than simple brushes.Effective chain cleaning toolSix rotating brushes clean deep in to chainSturdy handleDual direction design, great on e-bikesReplacement brush kit availableWorks on 5 speed chains, up to 13 speedsMaximum chain width 9mmAlso suitable for single speed transmissionsThe Mangiacatena (Translation: Chain Eater) will thoroughly de-grease and clean the whole chain. It is the tool of its type to be equipped with lamellar (finned) elements at both ends, meaning the degreaser is contained when the chain is moved in either direction. This saves on degreaser, is less messy and very useful on many ebikes where only pedalling forwards moves the chain.Once the tool is assembled around the chain, degreaser is added to the fill level (Effetto Allpine Extra recommended). The chain follows a simple, low resistance path straight through Mangiacatena. First it is squeezed at both ends by the plastic fins then scrubbed clean by six rotating brushes which get soaked in the degreaser.For best results move the chain ten times through Mangiacatena with the tool installed below the Chainstay then repeat with it mounted above the Chainstay. Dispose of the dirty degreaser correctly then repeat the first stage but with water to rinse the chain and brushes. Finally dry the chain with a clean cloth before re-lubrication.
The Mangiacatena Replacement Kit is a genuine replacement parts kit for refreshing the internal parts on the Mangiacatena chain cleaner. It includes all brushes and the two lamellar elements, and it is easy to assemble for prolonged service life. This kit allows you to replace the parts subject to normal wear of Mangiacatena, extending its lifespan. Replacing the brushes inside the Mangiacatena is very simple. For lamellar elements, which are glued, it may be necessary to use a cutter or flathead screwdriver to remove the old elements. To glue the new ones, Effetto Mariposa recommends using normal hobby glue or glue for repairing inner tubes. Leave to dry for a few hours before using Mangiacatena.

There are times when you are in a hurry and a quick cleaning is sufficient, or – especially for e-bikes - you want to limit the use of water close to electrical contacts. For these situations of moderate dirt, Allpine Light and a rag are enough to clean the bike, without the need to rinse with water. Use Without Rinsing: - Spray Allpine Light on a clean rag and wipe the entire frame - After cleaning, the surface will be shiny, with an anti-water and antistatic effect - As it does not contain silicone, it avoids that annoying sticky effect which is a real dust magnet. The surface thus treated also facilitates the flow of water - Note: Allpine Light does not remove the lubricant from the chain, so it is not necessary to relubricate it after such a cleaning - When the going gets tough, it doesn't hold back - If the bike is very dirty and / or muddy, you have to perform a serious cleaning Use With Rinsing: - Generously spray Allpine Light all over the bike - Wait a few minutes to let the product act - Rinse with plenty of water. A sponge or brush is recommended for an optimal result - Dry with a clean cloth. If needed, use more Allpine Light - without rinsing - to remove any streaks or traces of dirt - Lubricate the bicycle (chain, suspension, moving parts) after such a thorough cleaning
This high-performance chain cleaner thoroughly cleans all chain speeds, from single speed all the way up to 10, 11, 12 and 13-Speed chains. If you want to clean the chain in a thorough way and reduce the amount of degreasing liquid used, Mangiacatena is the one for you. It is the first chain cleaner equipped with lamellar elements at both ends, so that the chain can be cleaned by moving it in both directions, very useful also for electric bikes (E-Bikes). Equipped with six rotating brushes and a sturdy handle. Chain Cleaning with Minimum Waste There is nothing wrong with cleaning the chain with the classic brush and solvent liquid in a tin. In that way, however, a lot of solvents are wasted without getting to deep cleaning, unless you want to disassemble the chain and immerse it in the solvent. To avoid disassembly and clean in depth, we have developed Mangiacatena: the best cleaning with the least amount of solvent, in a short time, leaving the chain on the bike. Please Note: Reducing the amount of solvent used doesn’t mean that cleaning takes place without getting dirty. Better to protect the floor with a cloth or work outside. Deep Cleaning Formula The chain runs straight inside Mangiacatena, squeezed at both ends between lamellar plastic (PE) elements with the task of keeping as much solvent inside as possible. The washing is performed by six rotating brushes, continuously soaked in the cleaning liquid, which actively removes dirt on each side, pushing the solvent inside the chain. Instructions for Use: Open Mangiacatena by removing the cover and positioning the lower part of Mangiacatena on the bottom span of the chain Mount the cover making sure it’s perfectly aligned with the lower part, then slide the locking handle in place until it is fully engaged Add the degreasing liquid through the upper holes (it is recommended to use Effetto Mariposa Allpine Extra) until the lower tank is full to the “FILL” level line Keeping Mangiacatena in position with the side handle, pedal backwards for at least 10 full revolutions Note: the two lamellar elements at both ends reduce the waste of solvent, but slow down the sliding of the chain at least in the initial phase… so don't be afraid, just hold the Mangiacatena firmly Note: thanks to the lamellar elements, Mangiacatena allows - without wasting solvent - to pedal in both directions. To do this, it is recommended to keep the rear wheel of the bicycle off the ground (using a workshop stand or other support) It is now possible to move Mangiacatena: release the side locking handle by depressing the thumb lever and remove it, open the cover, disassemble Mangiacatena from the lower span of the chain and position it, as already described, on the upper span of the chain, for a second cleaning step. Add more degreaser if necessary Keeping Mangiacatena in position using the side handle, pedal backwards for at least 10 full revolutions Disassemble Mangiacatena and empty the liquid contained inside (dispose of in accordance with the law if you use non-biodegradable degreasers or lubricants) Water rinse: mount Mangiacatena on the lower span of the chain, add water through the top holes and make at least 10 full revolutions Disassemble Mangiacatena and empty the liquid contained inside (dispose of it in accordance with the law if you use non-biodegradable degreasers or lubricants). Repeat from point 8 until perfect rinsing. In the end, rinse Mangiacatena with water and allow to air dry Dry the chain (rag, compressed air) and do not forget to lubricate it (we recommend our ecological Flowerpower Wax lubricant) Effetto Mariposa has selected Mangiacatena materials and construction for long life. They also provide a complete set of replacement brushes, Mangiacatena Replacement Kit, to replace what you wear without having to throw everything away. They have also chosen to use lamellar PE elements at both ends, instead of the more common sponges, for their greater durability and resistance For Single-Speed Transmissions and 5 to 13 Speed Chains The chain runs straight inside Mangiacatena, instead of following a tortuous path, making it also suitable for single-speed transmissions (for a chain with a maximum width of 9 mm). No problem for traditional 5 to 13 speed chains.

Effetto Mariposa Flowerpower Wax Chain Lube (100ml)Efficient, performance-enhancing and not harmful to the environment, the Flowerpower Wax Chain Lube from Effetto Mariposa is a superb chain lube that is ideal for all-conditions riding. Formulated to ensure exceptional lubrication while protecting your chain links and drivetrain from accumulated dirt, grit and grease, this wax-based chain lube is sure to keep your drivetrain running smooth and silent regardless of whether you're travelling on the road or along muddy mountain bike trails.The Advantages of Wax Chain LubricationWe are all familiar with the classic lubricating oils, traditionally used in cycling. However, these products are subject to rapid contamination during use, collecting dust and dirt (hence the classic trace of black they leave) and over time becoming real abrasive pastes that reduce the life of the chain and - progressively - its efficiency (we are talking about several Watts of precious leg power wasted).The use of lubricating waxes has become more and more widespread: the chain treated with these products does not dirty, runs silently for a long time and absorbs less power, all this while increasing the number of miles/kilometres travelled before a chain has to be replaced. Water-based wax emulsions, such as Flowerpower Wax, bring great benefits, following some simple usage tips.How Flowerpower Wax WorksFlowerpower Wax creates a solid layer of wax that is interposed between the moving elements of the chain, reducing friction. It is a water emulsion of natural waxy compounds, with the right viscosity to penetrate inside the chain links, where lubrication is most important. Once the water has evaporated, a thick layer of wax remains firmly anchored to the metal, creating a real anti-friction pad.The chain will not be dry to the touch - given the layer of wax that also protects the outside - but it will not be greasy or sticky and will not retain dirt.First ApplicationWax emulsions require a deep cleaning of the chain before they can be applied the first time. It is essential to remove any oily traces so that the emulsion comes in contact with the metal and can deposit a well-adhering layer of wax.The thing is very simple using Effetto Mariposa's Allpine Extra - an excellent degreaser designed for this purpose - and the Mangiacatena chain cleaner, equipped with rotating brushes. Thanks to these products it is not necessary to disassemble the chain to clean it thoroughly. Rinse the chain with water and dry it perfectly to complete cleaning.Once this is done, after shaking the Flowerpower Wax bottle vigorously, apply a drop of product on each link of the chain. When each link has received its drop of wax, slowly turn the pedals (at least 10 complete revolutions) in order to allow the emulsion to penetrate inside. Leave to dry for at least 2-3 hours.For the first application, repeat the lubrication process described above a second time (one drop of Flowerpower Wax per link, etc.). After waiting again for 2-3 hours to allow the water to evaporate, possibly clean the excess product on the outside of the chain with a cloth and you are ready to pedal.Successive ApplicationsAs the miles/kilometres accumulate, when the chain starts to become noisy, simply clean it with a dry cloth and reapply a drop of Flowerpower Wax on each link. Since the wax retains no or very little dirt, it is possible to continue to lubricate in this way without the need to degrease the chain, which is instead recommended in case of rides in muddy conditions or in the presence of sand. In that case it is better restoring the initial conditions with Allpine Extra, rinse, dry and then proceed with a deep lubrication with Flowerpower Wax.In normal use, Effetto Mariposa recommend lubricating the chain if needed after the usual cleaning of the bicycle, in order to find it ready for the next ride.High Percentage of WaxThere can be major differences between water-based wax emulsions. While many competing products are around 30%, Flowerpower Wax exceeds 50%* of wax-to-water ratio. The result is the formation of a thicker anti-abrasion layer for the same quantity of emulsion applied, with great benefits in terms of durability and efficiency.* Percentage by weight (dry residue after evaporation of water)The Strength of Sunflower SeedsThe wax obtained from sunflower seeds has interesting characteristics for cycling use. It adheres strongly to metal and is water-resistant, prolonging the effectiveness of lubrication even in the event of rain or involuntary washing (creek crossing etc.). It also has excellent mechanical properties, necessary to withstand the continuous stresses of pedalling.Thanks to its formulation, Flowerpower Wax is ideal in any season, both on and off-road.Without Hazardous AdditivesEffetto Mariposa have decided to avoid adding further additives (such as PTFE and fluorinated compounds in general, graphene, sulphides, etc.) to keep Flowerpower Wax totally harmless to the health and environment, also because the current formula - among other things, vegan - has satisfied the most demanding testers and racers in the long development phase. Together with sunflower seed wax, other waxes of natural origin complete the lubricating mix. The emulsion is water-based without the addition of alcohol.Format, Tips for Use and Storage:Flowerpower Wax is available in 100 ml bottles. Shake well before use to allow the ingredients to mix evenly.A single application of Flowerpower Wax allows you to travel about 300 km on an asphalted road, in the absence of heavy rain. Off-road use may require more frequent chain lubrication.Keeping the chain well lubricated allows you to optimize the life of the drivetrain and its efficiency in terms of power absorption. Considering that a complete lubrication of the chain requires about 4 ml of product, a 100 ml bottle allows 25 lubrications, for an approximate total of 7,500 km travelled.Store and apply the product at a temperature between 5 and 35 ° C (41 - 95 ° F). Once applied to the chain, the temperature limits of use are those at which you decide to ride.Features: Creates a solid layer of wax between the moving parts of the chain, reducing friction, noise and increasing the life of the chain Unlike lubricating oils, it does not dirty clothes and resists contamination by dirt and dust very well Thanks to the sunflower seed wax, it is very resistant to water and is ideal in any season, on and off-road High wax to water ratio (over 50%) Rapidly biodegradable: it does not contain PTFE, sulphides, graphene or other chemicals harmful to the environmentBuy Effetto Mariposa Accessories from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
