Silca Gear Wipes were originally developed by Brandon Hirokawa, the inventor of the Hirobel frame clamp and professional mechanic in cycling and triathlon. The wipes were originally designed to remove dirt, grease, oil, sweat and even drink mix residue from frames and components. However, it was quickly realised that the unique, fast evaporating, solvent-free cleaner could turn dirty white handlebar tape white again with no slimy residue, or easily clean running shoes and dirty hands after a day in the workshop.This amazing cleaner has been paired with Kimberly Clark's premium dual-surface substrate for maximum cleaning power. Each cloth has a scrubbing side for heavy dirt and grease and a polishing side for delicate surfaces and gentle surface cleaning. Few practices can lead to improved longevity, smoother running and increased efficiency of your equipment like cleaning can. For this reason, ProTour mechanics clean every bike after every ride. They say that a clean bike is a happy bike, but don't let that distract you from the fact that a clean bike runs quieter and smoother, is more efficient and lasts longer than a dirty one.
