Hey guys,

Can anyone give me advice on how to clean my bike and gears after riding in heavy rain?

At the moment, I wipe off the water with a cloth, then spray some TF2, then put on some Muc-Off Wet Lube.

However my chain still went completely rusty over a period of a few weeks.


Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks

    Keep sprays well away from a bike as if it gets on the discs the pads will be ruined. Was with a sponge and water ONLY.

    Chain lube on the chain (obviously), if its a wet ride put some on before the ride, then clean and reapply after as well.....
