  • a truer statement was never uttered.

    anyone have experience with ultrasonic cleaners, I'd like one large enough to clean chainrings etc. Amazon have a variety of prices, litres etc.

  • I’ve found that the large metallic ones are useful for bike parts. Depending on the shape of the bowl, 3-5 litres is about the smallest you might want for cleaning chainrings and cassettes.

    As an add-on to the above, if I put a container with liquid to float in an ultrasonic cleaner, will the cavitation effect still happen inside the container? If so, will it happen above the cleaner’s water line? And if so, could one put a chainring in a plastic bag with cleaning liquid, submerge it partially (vertically) in the cleaner, and expect it to clean more than the submerged bit?

  • I had one with ~1.5 litre capacity - large enough for a chain and cassette, but not chainrings.
    I found it's performance underwhelming to the point that I gave it away.
