I made an attempt yesterday, ended up with chain cleaner spilt over cream carpet, and a subsequent dash to get stain remover. I need to befriend someone near by with a garden and a hose
baby wipesStruggling cleaning my bike since I moved into the flat
It cleans them better but can be more time consuming. The quickest way is to grip the chain with it and back pedal, then repeat with clean wipes (as many as need but if its done often fewer wipes will be needed). If done right it'll clean better than a hose and treat your chain/bike better.It's not the same cleaning with wipes, doesn't get grime off chain like hose does
Don't forget the tyres!I clean mine after every ride! Black definitely shoes the dirt
Try wipes they have better cleaning properties than a cloth (a moist) and if done often a wipe with them will remove the crud. If you've left it a while they will remove the crud but you have to be more particular and rigorous (feeding the wipe through links) which is more time consuming.I do that with a cloth the now, but doesn't seem to get the bits in the gaps out always as the hose would do
You know it's time to reassign your ageing toothbrush to chain duties. Go on, your cassette teeth deserved it, you know they do!I do that with a cloth the now, but doesn't seem to get the bits in the gaps out always as the hose would do
