Bike Maintenance and Cleaning sets

[NormanD]

Poundland do version of Muc-Off called Dirty Bike I think it`s the same stuff but for about £4 a bottle less. .Spray bike with hose. Spray bike with Dirty Bike. Drink tea. Spray bike with hose and wipe dry.

That's the stuff I was trying to find on the web page .. thanks @Tyke

Sweet! Thanks folks, all great suggestions.

Will brave my poundland on the weekend *sigh* and grab some goodies
I know it may sound stupid, but are there any specific cloths or anything you'd suggest me buying? Currently I have normal dishcloths, but feel they'd get caught in the chain.

Yes, they tend to get caught, hence using a brush.
I just use an old dishcloth to dry the cog/chain off a bit. My bike lives indoors so it dries quickly after a wipe down

Iv`e never seen it on the web page but they always stock it but it sells out quick so sometimes have to wait until the next delivery.

Cool, will save the £1 on dishcloths and just wait till I need to ditch it.

Will have a look around in there though, see what I can get and use. Did the same in Tesco but thought against it for buying proper bike cleaning stuff. Wish I hadn't held off now.

My sons best friends brother works in a poundland, I'm sure a few more bottles can be held in reserve with a bit of employee discount thrown in

 

[PlymSlimCyclist]

Is he in the Plymouth store by any chance?

Old toothbrushes make cracking tools for chains and cassettes

Wooden barbeque skewers are great for a big de-crud of cassettes but other than that soap and a hose then mickle every time

Thanks folks! Really appreciated.

I've not yet managed to hit Poundland, but I'll head there one morning pre-work and grab some stuff
