Show us your mucky bits.

No, not like that. Here's a rear derailleur all in bits with the startling amount of oily crap I removed from it. Show us some of the filthiest bits you've had to clean up.

There are specialist forums for that sort of thing. Er, so they tell me, that is to say.

Is that before or after Ross Kemp invited you for a “kiss” below the mistletoe?

I presume you inherited the Brommie and hadn’t let it get that bad to start with?

I saw a documentary about Japan a few years ago and they sell them in vending machines!!

All nicely done up in plastic

@Dragos probably would work as they would dissolve the vending machine
and anyway Japan has a thing about weapons of mass destruction being imported to the country

No photo for my best one, just have to use your imagination. Touring bike, chalk cycle path and rain.

Sorry - just washed mine

the speed sensor for the ebike "stuff" was at least 2 inches under mud

no idea how it was still working!!!

and the state of the derailleur is best not mentioned!!

I bought it like that.

For some crazy reason for me it’s the worst the better!
