RideIn Jonkershoek: wash de grease lube R50

[Sparki 1]

I heard that at Meerendal its R50 incl b'fast. Not sure tho'

[Eddy Gordo]

Naa, I wash my own. Make sure everything is just dandy and replace what needs to be replace. This I do once a month or every other month.

Normally I just wipe the stanchions.

I was contemplating the butler steamer though.

barry from cycles alive does a really good job, i hardly pay as its built into my service cost.

TJP Cycles Paarl 80 ZAR's, never left there disappointed. And he will make you a coffee!

As mentioned on another thread, I usually wash my own but when I ride BCC on the weekends I give the guy R30 to wash, then just lube when i get home. One LBS nearby have started to add a charge for cleaning your bike when you take it in for a service, problem is they don't tell you they will add the charge until you pick up your bike.

In winter I would rinse & wash my bike thoroughly after muddy rides. For the rest of the time I would rinse it down as needed. I do the same before taking my bike for a service to VELOlife - Somerset West. They do a super nice (and free to my knowledge) wash with every service. Highly recommendable team!

I pop the oke 10ZA rondts on the side at my local car wash on a Friday, the owner is a mountain biker and they know how to wash it and he is aware that I do it

I think that's a weekday special they've got going.

Morning guys,

My better half washes mine, but then I thought that they all did. I must have been mistaken.

I just presumed that they sit at home, dying to get stuck in while you are out playing in the dirt.

Have a lekker day and a great weekend

you wash your car ?

 

Clean ,scrub & lube after every ride . Just as well I'm not ocd or anything .

Am to anal to let anyone else wash my bikes. I just grumble after anyway and finish the job myself. Then I drink coffee and am pleased with myself.

 

Small things amuse small minds ????

 

Anyone tried rietvlei don't they wash bikes? But they have those high power hoses which I hope they don't use on the bikes ???

[CdT85]

I just wash it myself. First thing I do is put it on my work stand and give it a proper clean (the good old toothbrush method), let it dry out in the sun and then lube it up before I hang it up in my garage.

 

Serves as an inspection as well to look for any damage or loose components.

 

This usually goes down with a good strong cuppa coffee, or an ice cold windhoek draught..

Your better half obviously does not waste her time on the bikehub.
