Two done and I wonder how long they will look like that? Can't wait to get my winter bike and then have three to do.

I do actually enjoy cleaning and fettling a bike. But I am far happier riding them and getting them dirty again. But maybe I enjoy cleaning them more than I should. Picture of cassette as clean as I like it to be.

My pub/town bike needs a damn good service. I am actually not looking forward to taking it into the LBS, it will be embarrassing.

My cassette is cleaner than that and I have an aversion to cleaning bikes

 

[BigAl68]

Everything you need to look after your bike is in that lot. The stand is out of shot. Total outlay about £100. Then Google is your friend. You need to learn @Hill Wimp for when you retire.

That's because your bike is getting very little use. Or do we mean the brand new blue number which is very nice by the way.

I can actually see the attraction as i like cleaning. I like a sense of order but i'm not OCD.

Beyond chain and general cleaning i have not got a clue with bikes despite riding them all my life.

Dreadful i know, just stone me

I like to support local businesses

 

[BigAl68]

I agree it's great to support your lbs. They get enough cash off me throughout the year as do wiggle and also planet x. I put it around a bit.

I break things when I fettle. The staff at the LBS don't always ask what I've done now when I walk in but it's not unheard of...

So does wimpy

I work on an evidence based principle, so cough up short arse, where's your evidence for that then ?

I have to get used to new fettling techniques now, never had suspension before or hydraulic brakes.

And yes all my bikes are currently spotless
