How To: Wash Your Bike

A clean bike is a happy bike, but washing your ride is a bit more complicated than a quick spray with the hose or a joyride through your local car wash. Follow our step-by-step process and you’ll learn the dos and don’ts of keeping your bike in tip-top shape!

Great tips guys! So many bikes damaged by not cleaning or cleaning in too harsh a way.

Where are the bearings on the Marlin 7 2021? He says not to spray directly on the bearings in the video but does not show where they are. It does seem like the bike is completely washed so it seems that the water and solution did touch the bearings in this video.

Not sure I want to put degreaser in with the soap bath as the degreaser will get into the bearings. I just degrease the drive-train and then use dish soap then finish line spray wash and all is great. I just wish I could get all of that Shimano chain grease out of my chain... Tenacious stuff.

Great video thanks, just want to ask why can't you polish your tyres? 🤔

What areas should you stay away from???

I would love some details of just how your own brand of degreaser doesn't damage chains and others do. Please address this as it sounds really sketchy to me.

how often should you wash, hopefully not after every ride that's annoying

[llaz]

Good luck anyone washing the bike that way. Can’t believe this is a video you can publish.

Question. How many people take the wheels off to wash their bike?
Come on at least use a chain saver so the chain stays off the frame.
If you’ve spent £150+ on a project one paint job your gonna want to keep it mint.

That bike is already clean. Try starting with a bike that’s been ridden in the Uk you’ll need a lot more water than that

I'm still running my trek 3700 that has been muddy for as long as I can remember. :(

[musicsuxnowadays]

How can you altogether avoid your brake on the wheel. he got his wet and soapy. is that what he meant?

[mounirarr]

Can I ask you what bike is this? (Name please)

[bullyx]

cant i just use water too
and then dry it and re lube the chain with wd 40
