Cleaning your drivetrain

[Slowbee]

It is my therapy .... (no pressure washer ..)

You are weird. Then again, you do ride an ebike ..........

Why?

 

You get water into your bearings - toast. The seals on bearings are not waterproof seal but dust seal that would also keep out mud but not water at pressure. I may use a hose pipe but not with my finger restricting the end. That GCN video was just poorly done and proves nothing. Bottom bracket is more than likely the safest to do especially when newly packed with grease.

So... a pressure washer should not be anywhere near a bike unless you have one then you should clean your bike with it.

Pressure washer and bicycle do not belong in the same sentence ever.

At the Bike Shops they Remove the components from the Frame and clean everything by hand.
