I dont get it. Its quicker to wash your bike yourself then to take it to a place to have it washed.

To load, unload and explain to them what to do alone takes longer than a bike wash and a cassette clean.... heck I could maybe even do a Crank service and a complete hub service in that time too

 

If it takes you longer than 10min to wash your bike you are doing something wrong

If you wash you bike in less than 30mins, you are doing a half assed job!

Only if you don't have the right tools..... 5 min to do an adequate job - 10 min for a good job and 15 min for a great hand job.

Great handjobs shouldn’t last more than 60seconds, else they can’t be considered great.

I agree. It's not about the journey, it's about the destination.

DIY does not count..... unless you are washing your bike.... by hand....

@CJ Van takes forever. I'll start a fire, drink a couple of beers and finish all the chips by the time that he has finished washing his bike. Then he still has to was his girl's bike as well.

So.... Back to the original question..

 

Where are the best places to take you bike to for a wash ?

There are about 20 guys on this thread that seem to think R50 is a lot for a bike wash, maybe they will wash your bike for 50 bucks?

There is truth in that. So I guess we are all at the man formally known as Grease Monkey for some car washing, lawn mowing tomorrow and end of the week life lessons -  is it Friday yet?
