If you ride mountain bikes, chances are you\u2019ll be familiar with how filthy your steed can get after a ride; and even more so when you ride in the winter. In this blog, we’ll be looking at why you should clean your bike<\/a><\/strong> and how often to clean it<\/a><\/strong>. We’ll also show you exactly how to clean your mountain bike<\/a><\/strong> with a step-by-step guide<\/a><\/strong> to cleaning your mountain bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why should I clean my mountain bike?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some clean their mountain bike after every ride, some think a quick rinse now and then will suffice, and some others don\u2019t bother looking after their bikes at all, only to regret it later down the line (when they\u2019re having to send it in for a service 6 months too early) \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truth is, there\u2019s no right or wrong way to do things. However, there are a few rules of thumb that will help keep your bike running smoothly for longer and looking its best whenever you need it to. After all, grinding a dirty chain through your drivetrain is only ever going to shorten its lifespan, as will filthy brake pads or a grimy cockpit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few reasons why you should give your bike a proper clean from time to time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Cleaning your bike regularly helps lengthen your components\u2019 lifespan<\/li>
  2. Keeping a clean and lubed-up drivetrain makes pedalling a lot easier<\/li>
  3. A well-maintained bike won\u2019t need to be serviced as often<\/li>
  4. Your bike will look better and feel nicer to ride<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
