Degrease______________________________________________________
Oranj Peelz-Powerful Citrus Degreaser

grime. Low surface tension allows superior penetration allowing the degreaser to remove
contamination from all surfaces of the drivetrain. Oranj Peelz is great for classic "wet
degreasing" paired with our Toothbrush drivetrain brush or in the Pedro’s Chain Machine.
Pro J-Professional Strength Citrus Degreaser
Sizes: 16oz and 1 Gallon
Pro J is a unique degreaser that cuts through the toughest grease, grime, road tar, and dirt with
ease. Pro J's proprietary high viscosity, citrus-based formulation visibly coats drivetrain parts and

degreaser and the water soluble formula quickly rinses away with water leaving a spotless
drivetrain.
Clean & Polish________________________________________________
Green Fizz-Conceptrated Foaming Bike Wash
Sizes: 16oz, 1 Liter and 1 Gallon
Green Fizz is an incredible foaming bike wash that uses proprietary surfactants to lift dirt and
grime from the whole bike. The surfactants work quickly on dirt and other contaminants by
lowering the surface tension of the dirt molecules and allowing it to be effortlessly wiped or
rinsed from the bike. Green Fizz's biodegradable solvent-free formula can be safely used on all
parts and materials, including carbon fiber, without washing away grease and lubricants or
damaging delicate parts. The highly concentrated formula can be used straight from the bottle
with a rag, sprayed from the bottle and then rinsed with water, or diluted in a bucket of water
and used with brushes or other cleaning tools.
Bike Lust-Silicone Bike Polish and Cleaner
Sizes: 16oz, 1 Liter and 1 Gallon

biodegradable cleaner to remove light dirt and grime as it polishes. It is great for all materials
and finishes including matte finishes, carbon fiber, and even on tires to help shed mud!
CLEAN & LUBE
Lube ____________________________________________________________________
Ice Wax 2.0-Natural Wax Dry Lubricant
Sizes: 4oz and 1 Gallon
Designed for dry to mixed conditions. Pedro's Ice Wax 2.0 has been engineered with advanced chemistry
to provide a wet application that uses a unique detergent carrier to help push contaminants from the chain.
Once dry, the wax forms a dry coating on the surfaces of the chain which provides excellent lubrication,
efficiency, and wear protection. As an added bonus, as Ice Wax 2.0 slowly wears off over time, any
contamination on the chain is removed with the wax leaving a cleaner chain.
Go!-Low Viscosity, Wet Chain Lubricant
Sizes: 4oz and 1 Gallon
A low viscosity lubricant that provides superior penetration, wear protection and lubrication under high
load, reducing wear to drivetrain components by providing low friction and high efficiency. Go! is our most
advanced vegetable/synthetic chain lubricant designed to associate ionically with metal surfaces creating a
protective barrier, and keeping it there, for added life and increased anti-wear properties. In addition the
lower viscosity further improves efficiency and penetration to ensure full internal surface coverage and
protection against corrosion. As an added bonus, Go! is biodegradable and a great solvent helping to
remove contaminants from the chain.
Chainj-Medium Viscosity, Wet Chain Lubricant
Sizes: 4oz and 1 Gallon
A medium viscosity lubricant that has been engineered to provide superior wear protection and lubrication
under high load, reducing wear to drivetrain components by providing low friction and high efficiency.

anti-wear properties. As an added bonus, Chainj is biodegradable and a great solvent helping to remove
contaminants from the chain.
Syn Lube-High Viscosity, Synthetic, Wet Chain Lubricant
Sizes: 4oz and 1 Gallon
Pedro’s first product, Syn Lube is a synthetic lubricant designed to handle the harshest conditions and
outlast other lubes in all conditions. Syn Lube is formulated with extreme pressure additives, corrosion
inhibitors, and tackifiers to provide incredible wear protection, lubrication, and staying power in extreme
wet and muddy conditions. Unique polymer detergents also work to break down dirt protecting the
surfaces of your chain. Syn Lube is the preferred lubricant for any rider looking for incredible lasting
performance.

that meets tough GC-LB requirements, the highest rating for bearing performance classification. This rating
means Syn Grease Plus will provide the absolute highest performance and protection for your most critical
bearing applications. Syn Grease Plus is formulated to have an excellent dropping point, superior water
resistance, and outstanding structural stability over an extremely wide range of temperatures. Syn Grease
Plus is also fantastic for assembly tasks, great for threads, ensuring accurate torque and protecting against
corrosion, and great for component interfaces, ensuring easy adjustment and removal and again preventing
corrosion. Syn Grease Plus is the grease of choice for those that demand the best performance.
Bio Grease-Biodegradable Bicycle Grease
Sizes: 3oz

Clean & Lube Tools______________________________________
Toothbrush-Drivetrain Brush

Grease Injector features an ergonomic shape ensuring easy, one-handed operation and
precise, mess-free grease application.
Chain Keeper-Wheel Placeholder for Cleaning and Travel

compact tool inserts into the right rear dropout when the wheel is removed for cleaning,
storing, or transporting bikes. A quick-release lever allows for fast and easy installation and
removal.
Chain Pig-Shop Quality, Hands Free, Chain Cleaner
The Chain Pig was designed with professional quality, easy use, performance and versatility in
mind. Each element has been designed to outperform and outlast the competition. The
upper and lower body are made from super-strong, chemical and impact-resistant plastic,
designed to last for years of use. The brush wheels, which have the toughest job in any chain
cleaner, feature larger diameter bristles optimized for stiffness, effective cleaning
performance, and superior durability. For bikes with rear derailleurs the drag-free derailleur
hook provides simple use and hands-free operation. The Chain Pig has also been designed
for efficient cleaning and degreaser usage. The system allows effective cleaning using only 1
fluid ounce of degreaser. The stage one brushes effectively pull degreaser up from the
reservoir and onto the chain. The chain is then scrubbed from all angles and finally pulled
through a large durable sponge that wicks excess and contaminated fluid from the chain
minimizing mess and dripping. The sponge also wipes the chain, filtering larger contaminants,
and returning usable degreaser back for more cleaning.

BB Socket Holder-Holder Tool for Splined BB Socket
If you have even battled with an over-tightened Shimano® and ISIS Drive®
splined bottom bracket cup, you know why Pedro's created the BB Socket
Holder. Though these types of bottom brackets proved themselves as the
standard for many years and continue to be found on many bikes, the tendency
for these shallow splines to slip during removal or installation has resulted in
more than a few expletives, high frustration levels, and worst of all, injuries.
The Pedro's BB Socket Holder provides a simple, shop quality tool that solves
this problem.

every cyclist, and unfortunately, one often responsible for unnecessary frustration. Really, what is more fun than
flatting far away from home, being thrilled you lugged that spare tube and pump, and then having your tire levers snap
in two? Pedro's award winning, universally loved tire levers feature molded box construction and a proprietary plastic
composite blend that makes them the strongest levers available. The unique chisel tip shape easily inserts beneath the
tire bead and the slightly thicker shape keeps the lever securely in place. Additionally, the bold shape of the lever and
helpful dual spoke hooks makes removal of even the tightest tires a simple task. Pedro's tire levers are available in
bright yellow, pink, green, and orange making them easy to spot in the shop or in the woods making sure you don't
lose them. As long as your riding buddies don't steal them from you, we are confident the Pedro's Tire Levers will be
the last levers you buy. Do yourself a favor and give them a try. You will love them! If you ever, somehow, manage to
use your gorilla strength to break them, our levers are back by Pedro's lifetime warranty, and we will happily replace
them for you.

Spoke Wrench breaks this mold providing a shop quality spoke wrench in a compact, simple, ergonomic unibody
design that feels good in your fingers and is perfect for the toolbox. Includes the three most common sizes.
PRODUCT GUIDE
Then and Now: A Brief Pedro’s History _____________________________________________________________
In 1989, roommates Bruce Fina and Andrew Herrick founded the Pedro’s brand around a revolutionary chain lube called “Syn Lube”
developed by Bruce’s tribologist brother a few years earlier. Friends of Bruce and Andrew’s were living and racing mountain bikes in
the Pacific Northwest and couldn’t find a lube that would last an entire race in the muddy conditions The other Teflon based chain
lubes couldn’t handle the mud but Syn Lube quickly became the lube of choice due to its unique combination of synthetic oil, staying
power, and detergent ingredients. Once mountain bikers tried Syn Lube and experienced its performance, and word spread, demand
skyrocketed and the Pedro’s brand, was officially off to the races!
With the mountain bike boom of the 90s, the New England based Pedro’s brand grew quickly over the next six years introducing Syn
Grease, Syn Lube Road, Bio Degreaser, Bike Lust polish, Extra Dry lube, Oranj Peelz degreaser, and a small line of accessories made
from recycled plastics including the Milk levers, Milk cage, and grips. If that wasn’t enough, the brand also launched its famous
grassroots support program, racing service program, and mountain bike festival! The brand’s roots in cycling had been firmly planted
and a cult following ensued. People loved Pedro’s for the customer focus, grassroots support and easy-going nature. Another aspect
embraced by fans was Pedro’s eco friendly products…though if you asked Bruce and Andrew, they would have told you that wasn’t
necessarily the goal, but they were glad people liked it!
By 2000, Pedro’s added a complete line of professional grade tools uniquely positioning itself as a complete bicycle care brand. The
additional products further supported the grassroots program and Pedro’s Racing Service and Pedro’s supported as many as 375
grassroots riders and 60 events each year.
Today, our small team proudly carries on the Pedro’s traditions of customer focus, grassroots support, and easy-going attitude while
continuing to provide innovative, unique, and high quality cleaners, lubricants, tools, and accessories that are safe for you, your family,
and the environment.

PARK TOOL EK-1 PROFESSIONAL TRAVEL AND EVENT KIT
PEDRO’S MASTER TOOL KIT 3.0
Field test results: We’ve used both tool kits to build and repair our test bikes. As far as
quality is concerned, both contain top-notch, shop-grade tools that will last for many years.
But, when it comes to value and the most practical tool selection, the Pedro’s Master Tool Kit
3.0 is far superior to the Park EK-1. The most commonly needed tools to service bikes are
hex wrenches, and the Pedro’s kit gives you several L- and T-handle options. Park provides
you with a folding hex wrench set that almost seems like an afterthought. Where is their
awesome T-handle hex wrench set?
The Pedro’s toolbox is easy to organize and has room to
expand. If you decide to save some money and go with the Park, the money saved can be put
toward good hex wrenches and a more complete open-ended wrench set. Then you’d have a
complete tool kit that can and will compete with the Pedro’s Master Tool Kit 3.0. Bottom
line, for the extra $95, the Pedro’s Master Tool Kit 3.0 provides the home mechanic with a
much more complete tool kit.
Best tool kits for cyclists
By BikeRadar UK | Thursday, January 10, 2013 2.11pm
In lean times it pays to do your own wrenching, but to maintain and repair your bike with any success you'll need a decent quality tool kit. Here's our
pick of the best cycling-specific offerings we've tested to date.
How we rated them
To judge the latest bike tool kits we put together a list of the most common jobs riders would carry out themselves and came up with a shortlist of 10
important items:










Allen keys – ideally long, T-shaped (as these give the best leverage and are easier on the hands) and ball-ended (for use in tight spaces).
Our next preferred option is Y-shaped, followed by the standard L-shaped type
Bottom bracket tool – with solid engagement and good leverage
Chain tool – with smooth action
Cassette removal tools
Chainring bolt tool
Cable cutters – for changing gear cables, which can be a chore if you ride regularly through winter. Look for rounded blades as these clip
the whole way round the cable, giving a clean snip
Pedal spanner
Tyre levers
Screwdrivers – for front and rear mech limit screws, plus a tiny screwdriver is always useful
Torx drivers – for brake/rotor adjustment
We set any extras we considered valuable alongside this range and balanced it against the quality of the tools and value for money that each set
represented.
Pedro's Bench in a Box
Pedro’s have stuffed the contents of a home workshop into a cardboard box. Finish and
functionality are excellent, so just get yourself a chest for a fully equipped workspace.

quality tools for removing and adjusting just about everything: files,
screwdrivers, spanners, chain whip, crank extractors, pliers and a 3/8in drive
torque wrench with 4-8mm hex drives, 25 and 32mm sockets plus a ½in drive
convertor. The hex keys are ball-ended and L-shaped, but they’re fine quality,
as are all the tools.
The forged extra long, angled pedal spanner has plastic guards to protect
cranks, there’s a great inner wire puller to help when tightening pinch bolts, a
Vernier gauge and a ruler for measuring spokes and nipples. There are no Torx
keys or chainring bolt tool, but these are easily added.

lube, ISIS & external bearing BB tools, HG socket, lockring/cassette tool, crank puller, tape measure, T/L hex set, bottle opener, vice whip,
Shimano BB tool, BB socket holder
From: Pedro's / 2Pure (UK)
Rose Xtreme All2gether XL
Supplied in a sturdy box with lift out top compartment and removable steel tray, this has
a selection of well-considered tools. Long L-shaped ball-ended hex keys from 1.510mm and a single T25 Torx key will deal with most bike tasks, the chain tool is
adjustable with a spare pin, there’s a chain whip, lockring and bottom bracket tools,
cable cutters and three good spoke keys.
A pair of open spanners fit 8/10 and 12/14mm, but we’d prefer some combi spanners
including 9mm and better screwdrivers. Extras include a chain-cleaner, disc pad
separators and headset spanners. Tool quality is decent, especially the hex keys and
chain tool, and the box has room for your kit to grow.



X-Tools Bike Tool Kit
This is a neat and, with the exception of cable cutters, comprehensive set. There are some economies of scale to get
everything into such a small package, like the screwdriver, which is double ended. But on another scale
completely, this kit has the largest tyre levers we’ve ever seen – even the most stubborn rubber must yield to them.
There’s a puncture repair set included, and the best extra is a cassette tool with an engaging pin.
The only element that jars is the storage of the basic Allen keys and small screwdriver. These are stashed in
recesses below the larger tools, which makes them look like late additions. But that’s a very small quibble when
you get such a lot of functional content for your money. And because the Allen keys don’t have their own custom
slots you can upgrade them as and when you can afford to.

PRO Professional Hardcase
PRO’s Professional Hardcase comes laid out in a clamshell plastic case with snap-in slots. Pro
doesn’t supply conventional spanners and screwdrivers, assuming you have these already, but the
bike tools are great to use. The bottom bracket, cassette lockring and crank removal tools all have
comfy rubber handles, as do the chain whip, cable cutters, pedal and cone spanners.
The ball-ended hex keys are functionally excellent but their circular holder is quite tight. A Y-tool
has T25, T30 and T40 Torx keys, and the double-ended spoke wrench with five interchangeable tips
splits in half for easier use. Good chain and chainring bolt tools round off a high quality kit.

PRO Toolbox
This hard case tool kit from Shimano offshoot PRO doesn’t have the same quantity of tools as the highest scoring
sets in this round-up, but those that it does have are of a high quality – as reflected in the price. It hits nine out of
10 on our wishlist, with the missing screwdriver set being an add-on that isn’t too painful on the wallet. The beefy
handles make it easy to get a good grip, and we also like the little graphic that shows exactly what each item does.
There are both internal and external bottom bracket tools, as well as spoke key extras – a useful addition, although
truing wheels is a specialist skill that won’t be part of every home mechanic’s skill set. All in all, this is a welldesigned and well considered buy. It’s concise in the selection of tools but hits almost all your likely mechanical
needs.

Travel choice: Lezyne Port-A-Shop
The Port-A-Shop isn’t really a home tool kit but rather, as the name would suggest, a portable travel set. The neat
case, which is organisational heaven, houses three multi-tools containing Allen keys and Torx wrenches, plus a
screwdriver/pedal hex mix. With the right tools to complete just five of our nominated tasks, on its own it wouldn’t
be enough for a complete home workshop. But the mix of key tools plus chain tool and tyre levers is enough to
complete the majority of fettling jobs.
The multi-tools go beyond what we’d expect in terms of functionality because of the quality of the manufacturing.
The one-piece machined bodies provide rock solid stability, and the amount of torque you can apply is fantastic.
This is workshop quality in multi-tool form. One especially good extra is a wedge for separating brake pads; it’s a
feature that defines this set for us. For definitive home workshop use we can’t score the Port-A-Shop as highly as
we’d like, but it’s perhaps the ultimate travel companion.

Quality bike tools - a comparison. Park vs. Pedro’s
As far as bike tools go, Park are pretty well the best there is. Sure Shimano makes some fine and tidy implements of destruction (their wooden
handled chain breaker is too nice to actually use), but Park has always held the cards. Their familiar blue handled weaponry and drool worthy work
stands have always had a special place in my heart. But there is a down side; their products aren't without a price penalty. So how do the cheaper
tools fair up against the Park stuff?
Enter Pedro’s - their showcase is nearly identical to Park as far as range goes, and they come in a healthy margin below the Big Blue at the checkout.
But is the quality there?
To answer this enigma, I took a representative tool from both showcases and tested them head to head under laboratory conditions. No expense was
spared, and I tried to maintain an objective outlook to the testing. Here is what I found...
The Contenders
Initial impressions? Well the Park certainly has a lot going for it. A wide, sturdy grip for ham-fisted bottle opening and stainless steel construction
leaves the spindly Pedro’s with its corrosion inviting mild steel lagging behind from the outset.
The Road test
First impressions aside, how do they handle the nitty-gritty? Both tools fell to hand as hoped and required no extensive operation manual for any user
with some experience in this field. The Park tool had a wider bite and felt a tad more secure on its intended target than the Pedro’s unit. That aside,
both tools didn't struggle in the slightest over the course of our test.
Mission accomplished!
The verdict....
The Park tool gets the thumbs up from this reviewer. It's sturdy and corrosion resistant stainless construction certainly merits the price difference
between the two. The Pedro’s is let down by its sub-par implementation of mild steel and it's narrower handle.
However, the Pedro’s is certainly up there for the budget conscious mechanic/tool operator. It is more than $2 cheaper than its rival, and the thinner
handle may be preferable for underage drinkers and downhillers crippled by arm pump.
As weight weenies don't need bottle openers, I haven't weighed the two but I suspect the Pedro’s unit would be the winner in that regard.
