Expert Notes

Mud Honey is Crankalicious's pH-neutral foaming bucket wash, formulated for use on all areas of a bike rather than just the frame. Two to three capfuls in a small or medium bucket of water builds a foaming solution that is loaded onto a wash mitt, sponge or brush and worked over the bike to lift mud, grime and debris. This 500ml bottle sits well as the main shampoo stage of a regular wash routine, rinsed off afterwards with a low pressure spray. It suits riders who wash their bikes regularly and pairs naturally with dedicated chain cleaners, frame sealants and drivetrain lubricants for a fuller bike care routine.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Bicycle frames
  • Bicycle wheels
  • Bike components
  • Full bike hand washing
  • Wash mitts and sponges
  • Detailing buckets

Caution: Rinse the bike thoroughly after washing and do not allow the foaming solution to dry on the frame before rinsing.

The Brand

Crankalicious

Crankalicious makes handmade bike care in the UK. It was created by Dom Colbeck, the founder of Dodo Juice, with cyclist Tony Hetherington, and launched in August 2016, bringing what Dom had learned from car care to cyclists. The products are made at its own premises in Elsenham, Essex, from bespoke formulas in small batches with a maximum pour of a few hundred litres, and the labels go on by hand.

At The Drivers HQ we stock Crankalicious online with UK delivery and in our Ilkeston shop, including Mud Honey Bucket Wash Shampoo, Gumchained Remedy and EnduroBike Frame Sealant.

Crankalicious bike wash and chain care

Bucket wash. Mud Honey is a pH-neutral foaming bucket wash for every part of the bike. Add two to three capfuls to a bucket of water, agitate it to build foam, work it over the bike with a mitt, sponge or brush, then rinse with a low pressure spray.

Spray wash. Pineapple Express is a rapid acting spray wash for the frame, brakes and contact points, with a tropical aroma. The 250ml concentrate is diluted with water at 1:3.

Chain. Gumchained Remedy is a strong solvent chain cleaner for dirt, grime, old oil and sludge. Re-lube the chain once it is clean and dry.

From the car to the bike. Crankalicious grew out of car care: Dom made his first car wax on the stove at home in 2006, Dodo Juice was on sale by 2007, and in 2015 he noticed how many of his friends were serious cyclists and set out to make the same kind of handmade products for bikes.

Crankalicious finishing, leather and kit care

Matt frames. Carboniferous is a gloss-free detailer that removes dust, light dirt and fingerprints from matt finishes, including uncoated carbon fibre, without leaving residue.

Frame protection. EnduroBike Frame Sealant is a nano protectant that seals and shines every surface except brakes and rims, and repels water and mud so dirt sticks less on later rides.

Contact points. Epic Hide is an intensive cleanser for saddles, shoes, gloves and bar tape, on natural and synthetic materials.

Merino kit. Aqua Merino is a gentle wash for merino garments, by hand or machine, with a subtle mint fragrance to repel moths.

Brakes. Keep gloss and PTFE products off rotors and rims, as Crankalicious warns, so braking surfaces stay clean.
