Default You know you need to clean your bike more often when...

You clean it properly, and discover the wheels aren't the colour you thought they were

Ha ha.... but which is worse , that or looking at your wheel and thinking the Black paint is flaking/chipped then a few seconds later thinking 'hang on , those wheels are actually Silver .

The wheel was so dirty I thought the Silver bits showing was black paint flaking off/chipped


Cheers

Well, can you guess what happened today? I went to the bike show, and the parking was in an honest to god swamp. I'm never cleaning my bike again.
