Curious what if anything folks use to clean their cassettes without taking them off like as they are doing usual drivetrain cleaning.
I've been using this thing for a while primarily because I did not find a tool out there that does this as well and my old credit card delaminated from usage doing this – ; )
I'd like to get some folks' thoughts out there that maintain their bikes if this is something that could be useful to them as well.

If anyone does think this could be useful to them you can find more info and get this cassette tool here: PNW Cassette and Drivetrain Cleaning Tool – [Link](https://www.etsy.com/listing/4395422580/bike-cassette-chain-and-drivetrain?sr_prefetch=1&pf_from=shop_home&ref=shop_home_active_1&logging_key=8b8130566d01a2fa927b351d42c6a7ff06ed2921%3A4395422580)
Are you trying to sell a tool which is effectively an old credit card?
I’m going to switch to wax, but currently I use a brush with stiff bristles. Spray some degreaser on the cassette, backpedal, and hold the brush on the cassette. Quick and easy.
I use pipe cleaners which do a great job too but will probably print one of these.
That said I run waxed chains on my bike o might not need this than often

That’s exactly what I do lmao.
Waxed chains have made for cleaner drivetrains, but when it’s time to clean I just pull them off. It’s like 10 minutes so I really don’t mind doing it.
Pedro’s yellow cassette brush is the way to go IMO. Mix up some Dawn and water and Boobs your uncle
