I think you're worrying too much my friend! Never had any issue with contamination from washing or maintaining the bike. Only time lube overspray is likely to go on the disc is when applying to the cassette or chain. A couple of sheets of newspaper between the wheel and the chainstay will stop lube overspray from the chain and a small rag draped over the disc (covering the inner surface obviously) will stop any surplus from the cassette.A great product but they do complicate bike cleaning. Today, after a filthy ride in Chilterns I removed both wheels to avoid splashes of soapy water, degreaser, lube oil etc on the rotors. What do you think is good practice?
Yep! Would agree with this, but some caliper piston seals can be affected by isopropyl alcohol, so care is required. Good tip though!I clean the rotors with isopropyl alcohol, cheaper and better than disc brake cleaner. I do occasionally spray the pads with disc brake cleaner though.
