Has anyone else noticed that all the grease has turned to shit since using dynamo?

As in you no longer have grease in all your bushes etc?

**Sammikins** · 12th April 2009, 17:31

I knew there'd be some sort of side effect....

Yes we did extensive comparison testing prior to the release of pro clean and found that the dynamo although did a good job was also acting as a kind of degreaser, although I’m sure there will be plenty of people who will disagree with me but this is what we found.

P.S This is not a plug for pro-clean use what ever you want.

Thats what I've found. Looks like it might have saved a bit of cleaning, but now I'll have to regrease everything, whos idea was it

I think it was the general consensus to use it because it works and it’s cheap,

One of things we find when going to shops is that we have to tell dealers that pro clean will not remove chain gunk and to use the pro clean degreaser,

Pro clean was designed not to remove oil and grease, to stop the problem you have had.

Dynamo is designed to be a degreaser of sorts.

brilliant..... more work for me to do...

thanks for the dynamo cheese!

Dynamo works really well for greasy overalls.
Not good for swing arms,wheel bearings or steering head bearings or chains.
Maybe this is why its sold in the laundry detergent area of supermarkets and the fact that washing machine bowls are made of stainless not aluminum maybe.(Very corrosive)

Use dynamo. Strip and regrease often and your bearings will thank you for.

I use Dynamo on all our bikes, have done for about 3 months. Had a look at the bearings I greased 6 months ago and all is well. I have noticed no ill effects and wonder if it says more about the quality of the grease being used. I use a blue marine grease we have at work for use on industrial washing machines...... I'll find out what it is......

OK So second theory here: Did you guys stop using the water blaster like I did?? Haven't used it since I started with Dynamo. The whole reason I liked Dynamo was because it was good enough that I didn't have to use the blaster, which pushes water past the seals into the linkages, steering head and wheel bearings etc no matter what cleaner you use!
So if you guys are still using the water blasters maybe its carrying the detergent past the seals and into where the grease is????

Just a thought!

My bikes are all OK after using Dynamo since Christmas?? BUT I'll have a decent look over this week!

EDIT: The detergent shouldn't be able to get to where the grease is in most places anywhere on a bike??

dynamo seems to refuse to remove grease or oil from my bike have had bit of spooge from the pipe join and some oil from a leakin clutch cover and both have needed petrol or degreaser to remove haven't checked my wheel bearings etc yet but spose I should soon it's not like its hard though

never used a water blaster to clean any of my bikes, and always used the same grease. never had a problem till I started to use dynamo.
