Best portable pressure spray for after Race wash down.

Waynenio

There is probs a thread on here somewhere on this? But, does anyone know what is the best, most powerful, long lasting pressure spray washer you can get?

Main use for after mtb cx races or cx races.

Was looking at this:
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/mobi-v-15-pressure-washer/

But not sure if you can get better anywhere? More power? Bigger liquid chamver etc? Not sure if they pack in after one use (lol) etc?

The V-17 Portable looks good as well, again, not sure if anyone has had any probs with them not charging or anything daft?

Cheers fro advice on this!

I have an airrace dirt worker (which is now replaced by the Nomad), which was a cheaper option to the Mobi. For outright power and reliability I suspect the Nomad is best, being 3rd generation and all, but TBH my dirtworker does the job, has capacity for 2-3 bikes, and hasn't let me down yet in the year or so I have owned it. For what its worth Ive never seen any complaining about the Mobi, dirt worker or nomad.

I have been privileged enough to borrow Bens pressure spray after a ride and can confirm its flipping fantastic.

The sound track on the promo video for the v18 rocks! :P

Looks like a great piece of kit though.

I'd advise against something powerful. At the very least *don't* jetwash the headset, any pivots, hub, BB, basically anywhere there are bearings.

I and many others have destroyed headset bearings through the use of a jetwash, and mine wasn't even that powerful.

As for what I use, I have a portable hand pumped washer I got from Halfords which is for cars. It's useless for cars as it doesn't hold enough water, but basically you fill it with water and pump up the pressure then wash. It's not very high powered, but good enough for a rinse and was about £20. Still avoid bearings though and wipe those areas down instead.

That combined with Muc Off. Sorted.

I have the Mobi V-15 and its fabulous for kicking off the dirt before using soapy water and sponge at home!


Wiggle have this at £79.00 now and if you enter voucher code UK10 you get another £10.00 off which brings it down to £69.00 with free delivery....cracking offer.

I'm talking about when ur away from home. Nomad is brilliant cos you can clean the bike down before you set off home. and your legs etc.
