Bike Cleaning

By epicmike on 7/16/2007 on epicmike's blog

I went riding the other day and my bike got all nasty with mud. I skipped cleaning it yesterday (which I regret) but I tackled it and it's perfect now. I bought that Park Tool chain cleaner and some Pedro's citrus degreaser. I also bought some White Lightning lube for after the cleaning.

Anyway, I gently sprayed my bike down, then I used my soft brush to remove an big chunks of dirt, prayed it down again, then cleaned the chain.

As the chain was trying, I replaced the brakes. Then the chain finally dried and I put the White Lightning on. The White Lightning stuff is waxy which keeps water and dirt off.

I also just finished totally cleaning it off with a slightly damp rag. Its as perfect as the day I got it!
