Cleaning Advice

Hello Everyone,

Would anyone happen to have a good guide on cleaning or washing a bike? I'm worried that using the garden hose, not a pressure washer, on the cassette could potentially be detrimental to the hub. I don't believe the hub is sealed, so I want to be sure I'm not washing the grease away from the bearings.

I do use Muc-Off as well, but again, I'm concerned it's too much to spray directly onto the cassette. Whilst I'm using a hose it's not on the most powerful setting, but even then I'm wondering if there's a correct way to use it and minimise unwanted water in the hub.

Thanks,

All bearings, unless it's a real BSO are sealed. Muc Off and a hose will be fine anywhere.

Muck off and hoses is far too posh for me, I'm more of a bucket and sponge with a squirt of fairy liquid man, lol.

Nothing like a good squirt of fairy liquid now and again.
