Re: Toothbrushes for bike cleaning
That's never happened to me
 If I'm out and it rains the bike comes home mingin. It does help get the flies off though I suppose |

Re: Toothbrushes for bike cleaning
always possible I suppose, probably more likely to be the ACF50 the bike is coated in though

Re: Toothbrushes for bike cleaning
Last summer my bike got covered in Maltese mud that had washed off the hills and across the road during a rain storm when I was out riding along the coast road. I didn't wash the bike at all and set off home via Italy and Switzerland amongst others. Three or four days later, between Memingen in Germany and Luxembourg, it absolutely howled down but when I got to Liege in Belgium later that night the bike was almost clean again. The day after I got back I took the bike into work to be serviced and our mechanic refused to touch it until he'd washed it down. It had got dirty during more rain that started just as I arrived in Dover and lasted til I got home to Bedford. I next washed it about 7 months later.
In Malta and dirty  In Luxembourg a few days later having been "rain washed"

Re: Toothbrushes for bike cleaning
Trick I picked up from here I think, or elsewhere, not been mentioned in this thread yet.
Get two toothbrushes and tape em togther so that the bristley edges of the brushes are adjoined with each other = great chain cleaner. |
