Bit like that with riding in the mud. Me rida my bicycle, LBKloppers and TheoG 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyronLab Posted September 12, 2022 Share 3 hours ago, Me rida my bicycle said: Looking at these pictures I just see money 💵 🔥 I keep seeing comments like these and not understanding what people are so on about. I've ridden a bunch of multiple-hour slog fests in sloppy/sticky/grassy/sandy/wet/dry-ish/pooling mud and I've genuinely never had an issue a good clean hasn't remedied, even with my drivetrain sounding like a rock crusher during the ride at some points. What I see a lot of though is people having their bikes pressure washed for R50 by some rando at a trailhead, or dropping their dirty bikes off at their LBS and just saying "fix" with an open cheque book. Even after the Transbaviaans' 18 hour mud fest the only additional work I needed to do outside my normal washing routine was remove the crank and clean out the spindle / bearing interface as there was some trapped dirt. With some mechanical sympathy during washing and very limited wrenching skill I don't see how every time your bike gets muddy it has to equal thousands of $$$ of repairs. Then again, I ride rigid bikes with "cheap" components for the very reason that I can do things like ride in mud without worrying too much.

NotSoBigBen Posted September 12, 2022 Share I always thought that the foam was caused by too much 'Omo' being used upstream but recently learnt that it is formed by 'dissolved organic matter' and is quite normal. Cracker morning on the Highveld!
