muc off indoor 2Muc-Off launch range of cleaning products for indoor training
Another day, another niche product from Muc-Off you may or may not need... this time it's a range of cleaning products specifically to use on your indoor training set-up, with a cleaner for your actual trainer and your bike available.
Muc-Off launch a disc brake cover
16 of the best turbo trainers and rollers
Get started with Zwift
They've brought the launch forward to coincide with prime ‘turbo-training season' in the western hemisphere, with both the Muc-Off Sweat Protect and Antibacterial Equipment Cleaner ergonomically designed to keep your indoor training equipment germ-free and protected from sweat damage, that can corrode metal parts and your bike's frame over time.
The Sweat Protect is for use on your bike, with anti-corrosion additives and inhibitors that drive out moisture, leaving an anti-corrosive layer on your bike’s frame, metal parts, bolt heads, plastics and paintwork. There's an integral UV tracer dye to ensure you apply it accurately, and Muc-Off recommend using a backlight to make sure you get it into every nook and cranny.
The Antibacterial Equipment Cleaner is an all-purpose, antibacterial cleaner that works on all indoor trainers, gym equipment and bikes. Muc-Off claim it kills 99.9% of germs, and it's a waterless spray that's suitable for aluminium, stainless steel, plastic and vinyl. To apply, just spray and wipe over your trainer and/or bike.
The sweat protect is £9.99 for a 300m can, and the 500ml Equipment Cleaner is also £9.99. Head over to Muc-Off's website if you want to buy some.
Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.

I think it depends on the Lidl. There's two near me, one is just half a mile away and has been open over 20 years. The bike parking is not great,...

How about just putting the 20mph limits in wherever there's been a traffic collision? That could change the nature of motorways though.

Eaxactly what Drinfinity said!
Surely the article should say NORTHERN hemisphere???
“They've brought the launch forward to coincide with prime ‘turbo-training season' in the Western Hemisphere”
Western hemisphere? Are you literally on a different planet?
It's definitely wasteful and I certainly won't be wrapping or spraying anything, my bike will get more salts from winter roads than from my body.
Handlebarcam - superb response, although I'm sure intergalactic towels are not the most hygenic of items.
"A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough."
It can also, if draped over your handlebars and top-tube, save you £9.99 on special turbo-trainer cleaning spray.
Anti bacterial? Really? Puh-lease. Who goes around licking their bike anyway?
you mean you don't?!
How else do you keep your cassette so shiny??
I remember going into my LBS to collect my bike after a service. They were wheeling another bike out, handed it over to the owner who then left. I commented on how clean the drivetrain was, compared to mine. "Oh, well I think he only rides it about once a week, when he bothers...", was their reply.
How about saying mucoff to them an using cling-film instead?
Cheap, easy to apply and remove, covers everything from headset to handlebars!
Oh damn I should've repackage it as Cyclowrap or Bikefilm and charge 10x more for it.
Quite wasteful honestly...
