cleaning my bike ; how often and what with ? and what do i oil and how often ?
the chap in my ever impressive LBS suggested soapy water and elbow grease (he could easily have tried to sell me products).
had it 2 months, havent cleaned it yet apart from one of those hand held water sprayers with just water.
its a 'giant' hybrid, i do average 5 - 10 miles every other night, then 20 - 30 on a sunday. mainly road and cycle tracks.
I'm concerned that i should look after the bike properly unlike my car, and i'm worried that i'll cause rust / other damage if i wash it the wrong way.
is an all over rub with soapy sponge, then rinse, then drip dry the way to do it or do i neeed to rub it dry after ?
any advice much appreciated !
