Everyone has their own style when they clean their bike. I am sharing mine this week, so you can clean your bike like a Semi-Pro, I'm also on the hunt for new ideas on ways to get the job done. Also, I talk about my favourite lube, and break down the great disc brake debate. What are your thoughts on road disc brakes?[buzzsprout
There’s the quick and easy wipe down after every ride, well not after every ride, but hat tip to Mr Cycling Tips for the baby wipe recommendation. This has been working a charm for years, but what about your fortnightly bike wash, at least that’s usually my rhythm when it comes to cleaning, it gets a little more serious.
Firstly though, be gentle and patient when you wash your bike, don’t force things. Your fingers and nails will thank you. I always get stung, which sucks ass, especially in winter! So take your time, put on a podcast or some music and put the time in that your beast deserves.
I’m not so sure that washing like a pro is all it’s cracked up to be. They are blasting their bikes because they rebuild their machines regularly, and have to knock out a lot of bikes in one go. Use the right tools for the job though, which is fairly similar to a pro mechanic set-up.
What have I missed? Got any tips that you can share with SPC listeners get in touch!
