I bought an 8 lt garden sprayer that will enable me to wash the worst of the dirt off and leave in it the forest where it deserves to be. Purchased online, for the princely sum of £18, it is self-contained and comes with a soft brush that connects to the hose as well as the spray unit.
A waste of money? time will tell.

Did you get anything to clean the bike ?

I bought a similar one when I had a roof rack as I was fed up of the bike dripping mud all over my roof / back window as I drove home.
It worked really well. I tended to wash the bike again when I got home, as I like it to be immaculate!

Since getting a tow bar mounted rack, I just give the bits that get straps round them a wipe clean... and then wash it properly when I get home!

I have the usual selection of Muck Off etc on the shelf. Do you think it Is worthwhile to put a small quantity of Muck Off in the 8 lts of water used to spray the bike, or spray the neat Muck Off then rinse? I can do a proper clean up when I return home, its just I don't want heaps of goo all over the drive.

A new derailleur hanger and a new b bolt for the mech as it was ripped clean off today. Necessitating a single speed Levo, is this a world first?

They were very generous :)

Don't you worry about your front brake hose catching and tearing off running it round the outside ? or am I just overly paranoid ... :geek:

Finally got round to rerouting the brake hose ?

Oh.....& got new wheels & brake discs! Also trying Nukeproof ARD in both wheels.....be interested to see how they compare to Cushcore!? ??

A new ARC35 rim to replace the original AR35 that has begun to split at four spoke holes. The wheel is still true and I only noticed while I was cleaning up close.

Technically not new, but I fitted my Spank Vibrocore bars to my Rail this morning.
Not a perfect colour match but at least they don’t clash like they did on the Powerfly.

That color is ok. I might get them but the color options now are basically all black with some variation in the lettering

Nice set of sun Ringle Duroc 35 wheels and some Renthal bars.
Really nice wheelset at a steel of a deal from CRC

Being a essential worker I can try them out on my commute

I noticed them too on their website. Any good?
I got a set of them had them on the bike s while now seem strong with nice stiffness and decent hubs and freewheel a big improvement on my OE rims which did not last long.

On another note the next thing I will be getting for my bike is s new motor it's sized soiled ? "again"

That's not good at all. Still at least it's in warranty. Was it the comp or expert wheelset you bought?

This is messing with my brain: the labels on the card and on the grips are at odds. I can't tell left from right at the best of times, but now I'm totally forked!

I know, it's April First and you are playing with us! :ROFLMAO:
