Hi All

As the title suggests, I just got a new Saracen Mantra 1 MTB.
Its been 15 years or so since I last owned a bike (OffRoad ProFlex 552) and I see lots has changed in the trade.

I would like suggestions as to care / cleaning products to keep my bike in tip top shape as I intend to get some serious riding done in the summer!!

Many thanks in advance

    I started with a Muc Off bucket of stuff, with cleaning spray, water disperser/lube, and a load of brushes which was just over £20. Some sort of chain lube is a must. As your bike has disks I would reccomend getting some Muc Off Disk brake cleaner or meths or Iso Propyl Alcohol to keep your rotor grease-free.
