Butterbean Posted October 8, 2017 Share Flush it. Remove BB, seat post, and fork and flush it all. The regrease the seat tube, headset cups, and BB threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterbean Posted October 8, 2017 Share Could i use a bike wash like muck off?Yeah, anything will be fine, carbon doesn't corrode and the resin will stand up to most chemicals, however, it's mud, so chemical won't help you. Pure water and a little mechanical action with a long cloth pushed down should sort it all out. If you pop chemical in there and fail to rinse properly, you could risk the new grease you'll be packing on the various places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
