Disc brakes and bike cleaning

[Cubist]

Waste of a good Ale? Have you tried any of the American IPA shite?

To be fair owt that's Yanklish is shite, a good hawkshead beer is in order... But still, washing rotors in Ale ? Dowsing the bike off in special brew before setting off for a jolly jaunt

My disc rotors get covered in all sorts of whatever. When it's been raining the bike even gets a spray down with GT85 and I'm not too fussy where it goes. They always seem to work fine, I guess a few hard brakes burn most of the crap off. When I do clean them it's with IPA, same as with all the fiddly bits. The calipers and frame on the other hand get covered in brake dust. There's no point cleaning it off because it'll just reappear next time I ride.

Waste of a good Ale that. Look odd washing rotors with a bottle of beer

You could always use Carling, better than drinking the muck.[/QUOTE]
