Translation mode - nervous laugh, yep did meet some weirdo that was obsessed with my chain cleanliness, thank God I got away and expect to see me sprinting in the opposite direction if we run into each other again

Met SarahPink today

how was the ride?

 

[summerdays]

we should get him on a ride with Ianruk, see who's the most anal about bike cleanliness....I know Ian will give his bike little mini cleans when we stop to regroup

There was someone like that at the end of Bristols Biggest Bike ride ... he got out a rag and proceeded to clean the entire bike just after the finish line. And yet he still had to get the bike home - where it would presumably get dirty again.

There is no one... and I mean no one who has a cleaner cassette then mine...ZimZum will tell ya!

And I have been known to clean my bike mid ride..nothing wrong with that.

Erm ... clean your bike mid-ride??? mid-ride???

You'd better not set eyes on my bikes then ... you'd pass out at the sight of all the muck ...

I'd have thought that was a sure recipe for trapped fingers....

Maybe he should, perhaps you could have a bucket and sponge on hand, just on the off chance he couldn't help himself and gets stuck in.

Don't be fooled by Fossy,that bike is straight out of a showroom

no one cleans a bike that much

I was thinking the same ! Not even my week old single speed looks that clean

 

[ianrauk]

Ahem....and here is proof of mid ride OCD. I do find it handy to carry a cleaning rag with me on rides..

Tip.....Get yourself a pair of mudguards.

Nah, his OCD doesn't go beyond his own bike, I've tried leaning my mud splattered beast near his bike and nothing, nada, not even the tiniest of flicks with his comfort rag!
