Bike Rack on Gravel Roads

You guys clearly don’t ride enough 😂

My LBS washes my bike way more often than I do, for R100 I gladly delegate it to them. Time is a luxury not everyone has…

 

Wash and lube takes 10 to 20 minutes .... it takes much longer to drive to my LBS. 😉

 

 

I do the basics myself ... both because it is my therapy, and because it saves time.

I had the same issue living on the end of a 10km gravel road.  Way too much dust getting into the drivetrain, suspension and all the controls on the handlebar.

I got myself one of these.

Not a cheap solution by any stretch (as the price excludes shipping duties and VAT which are more than the cost of the cover!)

However, it works very well as it covers all the bikes and the carrier completely.
