I used Si's "5 minute" bike wash (but with chain lube rather than WD40) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9yqibWp0a-5fGQ.html. (Bloody hell that was over 6 years ago.) Got it down to about 40 minutes, after lots of practice. Made a world of difference to how long my bikes last. One part Si didn't cover is how to dry your bike, in particular the chain, and the fact that you need separate rags/sponges for the chain. Piecing Si's video together with this one should give you a pretty good idea of how to keep your bike clean, though it would be good to have one "Start to Finish", video with realistic times.

I do it in the shower or tub. Road bike is easy, as it's usually not caked over with mud, so I just rinse it with the shower head, degrease the drivetrain with a dedicated foam, then soap the bike up (I just use hand or dish soap), scrub it with a car sponge, scrub the chain etc, then rinse it all down. The worst part is taking care of disc brakes, as the back one can get contaminated with grease and grime.

@boatman222345 3 жыл бұрын

I've tried various methods of cleaning bicycle chains and have settled upon removing the chain from the bike via the quick link. I than place the chain in a plastic bottle part full with either kerosene of a biodegradable cleaner. Next I shake the bottle for a few mins, pour off the dirty fluid and replace with clean and then shake the bottle for a few more minutes before draining off the fluid. I repeat this process until after shaking the fluid remains clean indicating that all the dirt is removed. Next I carefully vacuum the chain with a wet vac while using the crevice tool attachment. This insures that all the cleaning fluid is removed which enables the lubricants to penetrate the link roller as you lube the chain. For the actual lube process I stretch out the chain on my work bench then using a squeeze applicator bottle I carefully lube each roller, allow some time for the lube to soak in and then remove the access with a clean rag. This process takes longer to describe than to perform and results in a very clean and well lubricated chain which shifts better and lasts longer.

Great video GCN. Actually I’ve just done exactly the same wash process steps a few hours ago after a good ride out on my BMC Urs. Parktool stand, Muc Off pressure washer and drive train cleaner. I use a 2 PSI blow dryer for drying my bike which is very simple and gets all the moisture out from your parts. I also apply the bike protector spray on a cloth not only for the entire bike but also for my DT Swiss Arc rims and the bike looks like new every time. Love the Muc Off products and all of your vids.

Believe it or not, when I buy a new bike that has paint, I waxed the frames with Collinite Fleetwax 885 right off the bat before even taking it out for the first official ride, but any car wax will do. A brush with very soft bristles works fine without cutting through the wax. I rewax each bike about every 6 months and the paint still looks beautiful. My titanium bike doesn't need shit done to it except a wipe.

I'm also one of those pedantic people who soak new chains in naptha then IPA in an ultrasonic cleaner just to get the factory shit grease out because I hate having to continuously clean my drivetrain as that grease oozes out and mucks everything up.

@casualguy3938 3 жыл бұрын

@@mihalis1010 Yeah, I agree. That factory grease on chains sucks balls. I used to take a lot of care with my chains, now, I just use WD40 and a rag about every 400-500km. I never ride in the rain and easily get 20,000km out of my chains before I even think of replacing them. According to Fast Fitness Tips on here I lose about 3 watts over the very best chain waxes, and since I don't race the simplicity of a rag and a can over all the wax stuff is a no brainer for me. Waxing the frames helps a ton though, not only for cleaning but resale value too ;)

Living in Florida, I ride every day. Because of heavy traffic I ride mostly on the sidewalks. On the rare mucky days, I don't ride. So my bike doesn't require much cleaning. All I have is very light dust which is easily brushed off with a paint brush. Occasionally, I'll wash it because the wheels get a bit dirtier, then let it dry in the sun. I use a spray polish for protection. I clean the chain and lube it every 100 miles, and I don't clean the lube off the sprockets because it protects them. I'll use a citrus cleaner to clean them if they get grit on them. At four years old and almost 10,000 miles on it, it's in excellent condition. And I do all my own mechanical work.

Great tutorial, please do allow me to share my washing routine, i use the muc off c3 dry lube (dish soap soluble no need for degreaser AT ALL) So i blast water into the chain links and spray dish washing liquid on the chain and brush all of the chain + pulley + chain rings and i once again blast it. By this stage the only thing on the bike is dirt on the frame and totally oil free. I then spray dish washing liquid all over the bike without any care for rotors because if you can eat off your plates, your rotors will not be contaminated. I then sponge wash the whole bike and proceed to drying/protection. Since i have used Turtlewax ice seal and shine on the frame and wheels, dishwashing liquid will NOT remove any hydrophobic coating at all (proof on youtube video on the turtlewax) all i have to do is use a portable air blower to blast off the water and since it is hydrophobic it just slides off. I blast all bolts as well as FD and FD as well as chain. By this time the bike is 100% dry and chain is 80% dry. I feel comfortable to relube the FD, RD and chain with 0% chance of contaminating the brake rotor. I bought the muc off protect but i have never found it to be a good idea to spray any aerosol anywhere within 50m radius of my pads and rotors. I wash my bike once every week and they are absolutely pristine.

I only have one question for you, guys at rhe GCN. How in the would can you afford those expensive bikes, my goodness gracious!I am an American and can barely afford second-hand 800 bucks bike. It simply blows my mind!

I great tip is to use a Blower (DEWALT do a good one) and blow the water off your bike. So much faster and it gets into all the areas your fingers cannot.

Time for the weekly cleaning video.

A cheap chain cleaning tool is also a great hack to use degreaser more effectively, to save time to get the bike all dirty again

Are the disc brakes not going to lose efficiency by getting contaminated with degreaser at the start of the video? Is the degreaser in essence a type of lubricant?

I'm starting to think a bike cleaning video is like a rite of passage for GCN presenters, like a driver's licence test to see if they have what it takes!

#AskGCNTech which of your bike cleaning videos should I use if my bike is muddy but not a cyclo-cross bike, second-hand, outside but I can only use my showerhead hanging out of the bathroom window, the drive-train only needs a shallow clean, I have exactly 21.46 minutes available and I don't have any GCN Castelli kit to wear while I do it. Also, I need to build my own bike stand to wash it on but I only have some old cereal boxes and blu-tack?
