    Cleaning Tips

    Hi All,

    I am new here and wish to share some cleaning tips.

    Don't risk scraping your knuckles when cleaning hard-to-reach nooks and crannies. Put your hand in an old sock and your new rag will get everywhere your fingers can.
    Don't be fooled by the early spring sun, there could still be salt on the roads so make sure you thoroughly clean your bike down after a ride, or risk a salt-caked bike.

    Hi Johnaugustine and welcome to the forum.

    You've gone and done it now. Half of the members have had to go and have a long lie down at the thought of cleaning their bikes

    But I'm sure Tarka will be along shortly to share his top tips.

    And should you ever wash your bike, a watering can is ideal for rinsing it down. More thorough than a bucket of water, uses far less water than a hose pipe, quick, easy etc. Just looks a bit funny - as if you're hoping the bike will grow bigger!
