Peaty's Tire Brush

Yes, the beech wood is waxed, which helps repel water and prevents the handle from warping or rotting during routine cleaning sessions. It is designed to withstand the damp conditions typical of bike maintenance.

The bristles are designed to be firm enough to dislodge caked-on mud and debris, but they are not abrasive enough to damage rubber tire compounds. You can scrub confidently without worrying about compromising the integrity of your tires.

While it is specifically shaped for tires, the wide head is also effective for cleaning larger, flat surfaces like rims or even frame tubes. However, avoid using it on delicate components like chainrings or cassettes where a smaller, stiffer brush is required.

The primary difference is the material construction. The waxed beech wood offers a more sustainable, plastic-free alternative that feels substantial in the hand, while the wide head design functions similarly to most standard tire brushes.

Simply rinse the bristles thoroughly after cleaning to remove mud and grit, then shake off excess water. Allow the brush to air dry in a well-ventilated area to keep the wood in good condition.
