Agree with all but definitely recommend not using Jet pressure anywhere near the fork/shock/dropper seals. You can actually force dirt down into the seals. Much prefer to use a shower strength all over, leave for 5-10mins and then come back for a second wash on shower strength. That will remove the majority where I will then hit it with the sponge.
@RyandeMilliano Жыл бұрын
Solid point for sure, I would agree that would be best; but in my experience I've never had an issue with garden hose pressure, even on jet setting. Seals seem to work properly as long as they are replaced as required. Have you tried out stanchion lubricant after bike has been cleaned and dry?

For sure, the bottle holder is the Blackburn Camber Carbon. It comes in a number of colors, hopefully you’re able to find one that works for you.

Some people say that dish soap can make the paint less shiny as well as more likely to remove grease from bearings, is it worth it to spend extra money on bike specific soap, or is a basic dish soap fine?
@RyandeMilliano3 жыл бұрын
I’ve got a matte finish, so not sure on the shine issue, but I’ve never had any issue with grease on the bearings, most bearings are sealed and should be an issue. I would just be sure to rinse the bike thoroughly after cleaning. That said, if you have any concerns, I’d recommend going with the specific bike cleaner.
@driteroj3 ай бұрын
Dish soap is a very harsh detergent and damages the paint protective coating. I suggest using Sonax car wash shampoo concentrate, which is one of the worlds most trusted brands for car paint products (same principle as bike paint).

For cleaning the cassette you can and should use dish soap though (suggested by shimano on their bike maintanance videos)

It won’t make it rusty right
@RyandeMilliano3 жыл бұрын
Nope, just be sure to let it drip dry inside overnight. Also, be sure to lubricate the chain and drive train over the next couple days. If you forget to lubricate the chain you may see some surface "cosmetic" rust that is harmless and can be wiped off with a rag before applying the lube.

Nice bike, do you offer a bike washing service?
@RyandeMilliano Жыл бұрын
Thank for the comment, unfortunately no. I would recommend getting a local shop to give you bike a detail, they will be able to do a quick check to see what maintenance will be required now or soon as well!
@tedshred65812 жыл бұрын
Great tips, but disagree on letting the chain dry overnight. Wipe it dry w/ a rag after washing and lube right away. I've inadvertently not lubed my chain after a similar wash down of my bike and by the next day the chain was rusty. At that point you try and scrub the rust off with hours+ of your precious free time or buy a new chain at $25 - $100 depending on what type of drivetrain you run. Lube it right away while you're right there w/ the bike and have all your maintenance stuff out, bike in stand, etc...

what about the cassette? do u spray those with something or lubing the chain good enough?
@RyandeMilliano2 жыл бұрын
Good question, there is no need to lube the cassette, ideally it is free from any lube or dirt. Only apply lube to the cleaned chain and mechanical pivot points on derailleur(s) and be sure to wipe any excess lube off before riding since the excess will only attract dirt/dust which will get into the pins and pivots, damaging and reducing life of components.

Which lubricant do you recommend?
@RyandeMilliano Жыл бұрын
For chain lubricant, I would recommend a “dry” lube for 95% of uses. Brand does not matter so much, most shops will carry a quality lube. Dry refers to the riding conditions.
@Forte_FX2 ай бұрын
Irony being, guys ride thru dirty water to get rid of brake squeal caused by that squeaky clean finish.!! I always applied lube to microfiber towel and rotated the chain, basically cleans and lubes at the same time.

Nice quick fixes for sure! If you're riding a lot, I think you would definitely need some of those shortcuts and at the end of the day it is about getting out and riding when you can.

@RyandeMilliano2 жыл бұрын
@@patmarquardt I just realized you guys were not asking about the tall stand in the background haha. the small stand I use for the bike is a 'Floor Type Hub Mount Parking Rack Stand' (search this on amazon and it should pop up with a couple options) just be sure to get the adjustable one for different wheel sizes.. When I was working in a bike shop, we used them for the floor models. I ended up buying a few of them. They are great to set up bikes without a kickstand, and stack nicely in the garage when not using.

What kind of a bike stand is that while you're washing? The one that holds the rear of the bike? I have to get something like that. Thanks. :)
@RyandeMilliano2 жыл бұрын
These were used at the bike shop I worked at, I have a few of them at home, they are great. I believe they are call a ‘floor hub stand’, you can Google it and it should come up. It’s an L-shaped metal stand with a fork that cradles the bike on the non-drive side, between the frame and wheel. Just be sure it fits your wheel size.

No lube on the cog?
@RyandeMilliano3 жыл бұрын
Nope, you should only place live on the chain and pivot points on the derailleur. The key is to apply when dry and wipe off the excess lube. Applying to the front chainring or rear cassette will only attract dust and dirt, creating that black slug that you see on peoples legs/ hands which is the sure sign of a novice rider haha.

Don’t use dish soap, strips wax off of paint
@RyandeMilliano2 жыл бұрын
Feedback is appreciated! Cheers. Couple notes from my experience. I agree a dedicated bike wash liquid would be technically ideal; but I’ve been washing my bikes for over 10 years with no issues. I also agree that dish soap is great at removing wax, but bikes are not finished with wax, the glossy look is from a paint clear-coat which is much more durable than wax.
@driteroj3 ай бұрын
@@RyandeMilliano Can it be the case that you didn't have any problems with dish soap because you had matte painted bikes, or you changed bikes often enough so that you didn't get to observe the paint deterioration through time ? :D On my car i certainly did notice the paint deteriorating after washing it with dish soap for about a year or two, but maybe the effect is not as noticable on bikes and you could get away wiht it since people don't wash them as often as they do their cars.
