How To Wash Your Mountain Bike | Bike Wash Tips

[@PereAndreuUbachdeFuentes]

We need a video with ideas on how to wash the bike for those of us who live in an apartment in the city and don't have a garden available. And cleaning on the terrace is not an option because then all the grit would fall down onto our neighbor's (that wouldn't be nice). So our only option left is using the bathtub?

[@johnp9650]

A lawn and garden sprayer works well.

[@Jf-reviews]

Yeah in the shower you get with it! Not sure that all my bikes would have fitted in practice! Good call for a video though.

[@shawnbowen6833]

Stop by a self car wash on the way home and hose it off there.

[@Petrolhead912]

You answered your own question 😂

[@thescandiflick]

Go down to the river and dip it

[@craigmoran5238]

Basically a promo video for Peaty's & Worx tools…

[@scottish-m3]

I’ve got the Worx Hydroshot in my van with a 30litre water bottle off the works drinks cooler. Works a treat. My version came in its own tool box which is perfect for the van.

[@gmbn]

Sounds like the perfect mobile bike washing setup!

[@chrikim67]

I mostly do gravel rides use the Worx hydroshot after almost every ride. Absolutely amazing tool that👍

[@gmbn]

Yeah, it's an awesome tool to use! It's great having a device that can quickly clean your bike wherever you are. 👍

[@TCK71]

I have a WORX hyroshot just for MTB cleaning, it is fantastic either in the garden or take it in the car for after the ride.

[@gmbn]

Nice! It's a fantastic bit of kit! Worx know how to do MTB! 🤘

[@2nd3rd1st]

This is an annual tradition, you making how to wash your bike videos and me cleaning my bike for once

[@ivansemanco6976]

Yes, good reminder also for me. 😊

[@KoalabTV]

After I am finished washing my bike I put it in front of a fan to blow dry off the remaining moisture and then put the protection on after that, it helps stop rust forming in bolt heads and that sort of thing.

[@jonnyboi2536]

New sponsor, new how to wash your bike video

[@nerdexproject]

It's so satisfying! I need a garden just for that! 😅

[@jonasvieth]

Blake seems to enjoy cleaning very much. Some slow motion scenes probably should have come with parental advisory 😄

[@lavishglittergun9017]

I just hope that someday I find someone who loves me as much as Blake loves his Nukeproof Scout

[@gmbn]

Haha! Us too! 😂🥲

[@gazza70cr]

Not another bike washing sponsor advertising video. It's OK though, Blake is doing it so I'm good with that.🤣 🤣

[@dm3design]

That's a nice backyard to clean the bike

[@michaelsturgeon5210]

I tend to not trust product placement videos as essentially there just adverts to sell you products and not the best for advice . Personally pressure washing is a no , water displacer is more effective than a rag on a chain. I liked the brushes tho .

[@AndrewHiggs-g5b]

So much joy, too funny😂 . Really enjoyed this

[@Mark__A]

Washed both last week. Need to lube it tomorrow.

[@lew1s72]

I just washed this exact bike yesterday

[@gmbn]

Nice! The Nukeproof Scout is such a great bike!

[@lew1s72]

@@gmbn ye I got the nukeproof scout elite 275 at the end of year sale and got 1000 pounds off and I've had so much fun with it

[@shellderp]

having lots of car detailing supplies helps!

[@cccycling5835]

I have a pressure washer for my car (which I sold for a bike actually lol) and I almost never use it on my bikes because they just don’t get dirty enough! Maybe that’s what I’m doing wrong lol It’s hard not to be enthusiastic about a pressure washer though. I would avoid spraying the crank and head bearings directly though.

[@ImprovImage]

Just picked up my first full sus bike and have been watching a ton of GMBN vids on all kinds of tips & tricks. I knew that washing/lubing would be the most routine maintenance, so I appreciate yall for making a proper walkthrough. I was just planning on using the trusty garden hose, but just found that pressure washer 50% at Target after it was referenced/used in this. Fuck yeah!

[@SLYBUTTER]

See Blake, click video.

[@gmbn]

Simple as that! 😎

[@cityproofdad]

I have to say it Yours how to wash the bike is better then hers tech videos about xc

[@julianw5692]

Weirdly I now really want to wash .My perfectly clean bike.

[@jonathaningham9912]

I just love the nukeproof yellow, I got a rubbish marin. Deffo on my list to own one of them by the end of the Yr. I drool everytime I see it Blake.

[@gmbn]

Nukeproof certainly know how to make a yellow bike! 😎 No bikes are rubbish if you can have fun on them. All the best and safe riding! 🤘

[@SpMoose]

Wow some fresh content here GMBN!

[@anzheyveter]

So satisfying)

[@gmbn]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@OliverFreeski]

Hey Blake, what mudguard are you running? Thanks for the great Videos!

[@Gooliverr]

My heart broke into pieces when I saw that hard brush scrubing those stanchions

[@mrisaax1747]

I would totally do this is I had the tools… but for now putting my thumb in front of the hose works just fine lol

[@redhourinfantry6117]

Will the bike rust in any areas? If so how do you prevent this?

[@anitalandkroon]

Great video 😃 if you do this often and properly, you will have a nice shiny bike for a long time 😃😃

[@gmbn]

For sure! Maintaining and keeping your bike clean is essential! 👊

[@lewishawkins5267]

How often do people wash their bike?? Every ride? Or depending on when you next plan using E.g. if in a couple days perhaps leave it?

[@rewindd]

i wonder when we will get a video that hasnt been made on this channel already lol

[@m4tzeeh]

How does his Scout look so pristine with all the crazy rides he's doing, I even wrapped some parts of my Bike (don't think he has any on it?) and it doesn't look THAT brand new all the time, tell me your secret!

[@gmbn]

Peaty's Silicone Shine! 😉

[@papagodzilla5465]

do you need to re-lube/grease parts of your derailleur ?

[@Antjan46]

Super Nice 🔔

[@gmbn]

Definitely! 🔥😎

[@88davidw]

B-LAKE 😍

[@daddyduck833]

Should you use a ceramic and wax free soap to protect the rotors? I have never heard anyone mention this before

[@kisong1960]

Is this also recommended for a Reynolds 853 steel hardtail? With the watering?

[@robertpayne2858]

Doesn't using a degreaser on the cassette knacker up the freehub?only asking because I did it once then needed a new freehub.

[@nikocelap2841]

Good video

[@gmbn]

Glad you enjoyed! 🤘

[@reynosoautodetailing]

It’s sunny in the UK? 😮

[@ApexHerbivore]

Should have added something about WD water displacement on drivetrain before lubing, and brake cleaner to decontaminate the rotors and pads after splashing crap on them 🤪 You can also shield the rotors while you're cleaning the bike. Front wheel comes off easy and can be put aside, or you can use shower caps or a plastic sheet with a small cutout that you slide behind the rotor.

[@felderosa]

not really worried about soap/water on the brakes, yeah if youre spraying anything funkier tho

[@elononoras1902]

the more crap the better braking power. just don't apply oils and lubricants.

[@MiciahChamberlain]

The part he said all your hubs as though we have 10 or so haha

[@LukeMarkensMTB]

I'd rather watch less, but better content on GMBN tbh... the amount of "advertisement video's" is getting out of hand imho

[@stevebennett3587]

👌like those riser bars, what rise are they🤔👍

[@andrewsiasparks]

Boil a rusty chain. Turn that oxide black. It hardens it an protects it from rusting further. "Slow bluing"

[@94Soltys]

i dont have garden and i live in block so for me only possible is car wash station :c

[@ashdowker4326]

i was always lead to belive thart pressure washers were no good for the bike as they can wash grease out of bearigs is this the case

[@The1Music2MyEars]

It is but when you have a fan base watch a video of someone use a pressure washer, they'll come up with excuses like the Hydroshot is way less PSI etc. a garden hose is all you need.

[@lmiz8011]

My husband says water is the worse thing for you chain and other parts!? I'm new and was wonder what you think?

[@zodiark2456]

water is fine just make sure to dry chain properly and then relube it and avoid spraying the bearings

[@ThepeakMTB]

Love the videos

[@gmbn]

Thanks for the support!

[@Danil-Crypto]

one toothbrush and water)

[@thomasm4155]

Y’all running out of video ideas

[@Tobias611]

And using the same brush he just cleaned the front suspension with to clean up the rear brake? Definitely trusting that soap to remove any contamination, even with rinsing in-between. Also, brushing the cassette without anything between it and the rear brake disk, so all the brush hairs fling oil and dirt on there? Ballsy.

[@RedWingsninetyone]

Gotta refresh old videos every now and then with new info or just plain to have a new version rather than a 7 year old version

[@jaimewilson6312]

@@Tobias611 disagree. This was a great video and this portable pressure washer is exactly what I was looking for.

[@irockuroll60]

Yea. Rumor is they are doing a video called “how to get your girl into biking”. Supposed to be proving pointers and tips.

[@brian6speed]

If you were smart you'd realize this is a marketing commercial to sell those power washers. $$$$$$ they are being paid to promote them.

[@bfotosuk]

There's already so many videos showing this, why have you put another out?

[@JensEskildsen]

New sponsored products to promote

[@gmbn]

You can never have too many bike wash videos! 😉

[@ValtersPriede]

just another one advertisement for sponsor products

[@federaldelii]

Grasses going at that derailleur pulley wheel that much 😳😳???

[@mooska1]

According to the sun position, it looks like it took at least a half of day to clean your MOUNTAIN bike

[@Unite.The.Kingdom]

Don't use pressure washers! It only pushes dirt into places you don't want it, into bearings, into links just rinse it. No silly gadgets just a hose.

[@Petrolhead912]

Nooooo not again surely 😂

[@Mac2118]

No more MucOff sponsorship?

[@simonm1447]

I think they ended the sponsorship, you don't hear anything from them in GMBN now

[@anonymous123abc]

My brakes started squealing but work fine, pads are fine and disks aren’t wonky, any ideas?

[@rewindd]

brakes will squeal because of the water, its completely normal and goes away after some normal riding

[@richardjohnston6688]

If brakes still squeal after there dry out clean disc and pads with disc brake cleaner. If still squealing give your pads a light sanding with sand paper and keep them flat on sand paper . Use a fine wet sanding paper . Works for me .

[@andrewsiasparks]

The whole drive train cleaning thing makes me laugh. Why don't people hot wax? You already rince/ wipe down after a muddy ride.

[@danshilling4240]

I don't wash my bike cuz it's never dirty. I mean yes I wipe it down when it gets dusty but I don't ride mud because you don't ride mud you ride dirt.😉😁🤟

[@football_freak_la23]

U should try skits

[@RicardoPetrazzi]

How to wash you bike > get a bucket and sponge and roll your sleeves up, and get to it. simples. 🤣🤣

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

I love your channel but it's getting ridiculous with the amount of ads and plus these products are expensive

[@samuellackovic492]

A 13 minutes long product add🤣 still enjoyed it

[@fisharefriends598]

Didn’t even bother protecting the rotars

[@MGL83]

Must be convenient to use chemicals. If I wash bike on my driveway with anything else but cold water, police will come and give me a ticket. If I take my bike to car wash and start taking wheels off, carwash owner complains and tells me to leave. Germany sux sometimes.

[@nynomadfjc3907]

isn't all that soap contaminating the brake pads?

[@michaelmoline7058]

Nah, people have been washing their car wheels and such for years, I know when I do I hit the calipers too, these soaps are pretty mild.

[@MiciahChamberlain]

Spraying that degreaser all over his rotor and brake calipers along with brake pads isn’t that terrible for it ?!

[@richardjohnston6688]

There's no reason to spend money on high pressure tools to wash your bike . Hose is good enough..

[@adamrichards933]

Yet another bike cleaning video you guys really are running low on ideas👎

[@The_One-Eyed_Undertaker]

The square Peaty's brush is designed for the tyres, not the drivetrain. The small narrow brush is for the drivetrain.

[@elononoras1902]

a brush is a brush, I am using kitchen specif brush, and guess what, it works ;D

[@The_One-Eyed_Undertaker]

@@elononoras1902 That's not the point. Of course a brush is a brush. But YOU ARE NOT receiving thousands of Sterling Pounds in sponsorship fees monthly from Peaty's to properly showcase their products in KZbin. However, GMBN definitely is and they should at least try to show the appropriate usage of their sponsors' products.
