This is a thorough bike wash that includes degreasing your drivetrain. It should take around 30 minutes. Subscribe to our channel for more how tos: http://gcn.eu/SubscribeToGCN About once a week or so, your bike will need a thorough clean. By this we mean getting your bike on a stand, degreasing the drivetrain and thoroughly cleaning everything. In this video, Simon Richardson shows you how to get your bike looking pretty much like new again. Unless you use white bar tape - we haven't got a trick for that yet.

anyone know what bike repair stand that is?

its better to use toothbrush for chain cleaning :)

This guy is the Gordon Ramsey of bicycles

I want to begging cycling but I don't want to spend to much money on my first road bike. Is a 500$ bike a good bike or will it be too cheap for normal every day use?

thanks for sharing the video

Anyone would think that no one cleaned their bike before carbon came along, the way some people are carrying on.......

WD 40 on the weels and on the bar tape? Calvin Klein is joking.

what is wet lube?is singer oil wet lube?

Is it bad if I use a lot of tap water on my bike to clean it?

Does wet lube mean used in rainy conditions or in damp and humid conditions?

I saw calvin kleins lol

I would council against washing up liquid - it has a very high salt content which will aid rusting process! I suggest car shampoo which has a wax content which will help protect the paintwork whilst getting rid of road dirt and grease.

What about this process for an aluminum?Caad12/disc for example

Dig the channel, but i don't get the whole 'dont set your bike upside down' thing. It's not the first time I've heard this, and it just seems to me that the seat and hoods can take any scrapes with barely a scuff, much better than the tips of the forks and levers which are bound to get scratched up, and they're easier to replace to boot.

dish washing liquid, NOT liquid hand soap

what was the wd-40 for? what did your mean by aerosol?

suggestion for decent household degreaser?

I use old toothbrushes.

To the issue with the bar tape ,try using Multi-Purpose Goop hand cleaner. Works like a charm.

what kind of lube are you using?
