    When finished washing, blow dry it with a garden leaf blower. Works a treat to get rid of all the moisture and prevent corrosion. Great video, thanks!
  • @RudyBoonekamp
    Instant thumbs up for a bike cleaning video that isn't just product placement! Like a certain well known cycling channel.. Good job.
  • @toukka4
    You seem genuine and honest, I trust you! This will be my go to video when washing my bike.
  • @johnnyloco11
    finally someone cleaning a bike that is actually dirty to begin with
  • @johngannon1
    I bought a couple of pound shop shower caps and pop them over the disc brake rotors. And my luxury item is a quick spray of Bike Protect in theory to help with any missed water but in reality because it smells nice 😊
  • @DanDan-fu6sd
    Hold on, at the start of your video, you said "with little effort". Respectfully, this hardly seems like little effort. How often should we do this? Yearly? None the less, this is a perfect example of how it should be done, great job.
  • It’s good to see someone not using this as a marketing opportunity to promote very expensive cleaning products from named brands in the industry. Well done!
  • @verynaughty6563
    That's pretty much how I clean my bikes. I even have a worx power shot pressure washer like he was using. I might get some drip wax for my chain though, I've heard good things about it not picking up as much dirt as regular lube. Also worth pointing out is when wiping the dirt off your brake discs, bare in mind that there will be dirt in the cutouts too. So now and then it's worth taking your discs off and soak them in some disc brake cleaner, or even just some soapy water. 👍
  • Washing is enjoyment when you have 3 things: backyard, water hose and bike stand. But while living in appartment I don't have an option of using pressure sprayer and bike stand when outside, and I don't have a car to carry all that stuff somewhere.
  • @mattes3183
    I‘d always cover the disc brakes while degreasing the drivetrain. Without doing so, I never managed not to sprinkle a fair amount of lube on the discs. But maybe that’s just me.
  • @JibbaJabber
    I know someone who treats his bike like his hair. He says by not washing either, it creates a protective layer. I'm thinking of creating a crowdfunding page for him, for a Cervelo 'Soloist'.
  • @user-nt8dy4xw9r
    I don’t mind black drivetrain. Cycling is an outdoor sport and it would be painful to keep everything clean.
  • Prefer to not use so much water cleaning my bikes. Just soft bristle brushes, damp rags, drive chain specific brushes and a dry clean rag to polish it up.
  • @tjnadah
    Does anyone know the pressure washing being used?
  • @Pat14922
    quite like the degreasing container, in the water bottle holder 😁😁😁😁
  • @savagepro9060
    That elbow grease you mentioned, where the hell can I get some?🤔🤨
  • @iansellers1251
    Do you dilute that screwfix degreaser or use it as it is ? Will it not damage finish to components otherwise?
