Re: What Cleaning stuff/maintenance stuff is needed for a bike?
Aldi microfiber cloths the 2 in a pack ones they come in yellow, blue and green. they are cheep. use once for polishing then bin. if they fall on floor while polishing bin it and use a fresh one. car washing sponges cut in half, again if they fall on the floor while washing bike bin it and use a fresh one. even the smallest piece of grit will scratch your beloved paint work.
polish of your choice, MER, Autoglym, Simoniz what ever you like. and as YC mentioned oil and grease. my favourite of all greases for day to day use is white spray grease, use on all pivot areas after washing bike e.g. brake and clutch levers, gear leaver etc etc. |
