One hugely important step is missing. After you bring the bike into the garage, put the 10 foot long thick cable around the bike that is also wrapped around something immovable like the garage door framework and lock it up. When the bike is dry, cover it with a sheet to camouflage it from prying eyes. Keep the garage door down as much as possible.
I w found a great solution, 3 x 20kg metal kettlebells and a couple of high grade chain systems. Any would be theif would either have to spend a fair amount of time cutting very noisily, whilst alarms kick off and/or carry 80kg of unstable weight out the garage and disconnect from floor anchor. Call me paranoid 😂😂😂
First off thanks for your video. I have watched others and being a tech kind of person I wish to let you know that I think yours is the best. Reasons are 1. It's short and not wasting time. 2. You are not peddling (pun) products. 3 I agree that a pressure washer is not the tool for the job. Kudos !
We’ll done, Specialized! Trek owner here trying to learn how to properly wash my $8k bike. Trek has a basic af how-to care for video. Way to go, Trek. (Sad trombone)
Just got my Trek Allant 9.9S. Took the fenders off so I could transport it on my rack. Cannot cinch down the arm with the front fender, took off the back one also. Looks great! That said, been raining here like crazy in so cal, bike is a muddy mess. Great tips in your video, kudos and thanks! I see a bike bath in its future! ;-)
As much as I love my Kenevo, it is not designed for UK riding. Ie thick mud from October to May. The shock linkage is so crowded and cramped that it is virtually impossible to clean without a jet of water. The Levo doesn’t have this problem. Sadly, I wouldn’t buy the Kenevo again knowing this.
0:37 You want to teach us how to wash our bikes by washing an almost clean bike? Yeah, great 😅 How about showing us how to wash a Kenevo SL which has the linkage area full of sticky mud and debriefs? I want to SEE, not just hear, how you do it and how long it takes. Thanks!
Evidently specialized knows that the power will turn itself on when the wheel rotates in reverse. I've always consider this a safety hazard and I'm surprised they haven't designed the bike so the power can't come on inadvertently. This can be very dangerous if someone doesn't realize the power is on and load is applied to the pedals. The bicycle begin to drive and can cause injury.
OK, maybe it’s just me, but why is this guy wearing a helmet to wash a bike? This is the ultimate scare tactic. Perhaps when you’re washing your bike something could hit you in the head like a thought to put down your phone and live in reality, maybe going for a mountain bike ride or actually sitting down and talking to people, face-to-face, Maybe they should actually encourage people to put tinfoil between there head and helmet to protect yourself from information that could cause incredible harm like questioning the narrative the story we were told. doing research, and looking into the so-called conspiracy theorist, which, by the way, was invented by the CIA when John F Kennedy was shot to squashing questioning am the story and narrative of naysayers to the Warren report. Dammit I totally digress back to the tutorial. yeah, you can wash your bike without a helmet. I think you’ll be OK. Oh by the way, take a look at Robert Kennedy Junior for president.

Wow, I was wondering how to back peddle with out putting it on a bike stand to clean the chain. thank you!
Even on a bike stand without that you can’t back pedal it the chainring won’t move
Ira, my mind was blown with that tip for sure!😮😅

Thank you! I ride a Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO. This showed me things I didnt think of or wasnt aware of. Thanks again!
Always got to have a decent bike in summer.i have a specialised rock hopper and it's a beast 😊
Very useful and will be sure to take these tips into account! Thanks !
thanks for the tip on how to pedaling back! :)

Nice tooltip for backpedaling.
Yep, we've been using that tip daily since we figured it out! Thanks!
@@SpecializedUniversity What brand of Hex Key is that?
@@jilly7306 Hi! I'm not sure about that one exactly, but Park Tool makes a copy of that tool with all three hex bits. Thanks!
Thanks!

Its safety for the motor the backpedaling tricktip?
Perché non aggiungete i sottotitoli in tutte le lingue .....risulterebbe più facile

Old comment I know, but respectfully, what?
Ain't nobody got time for that.
Doesn't matter. None of them are UL 2849 approved, so if they go up in flames, your insurance carrier will not foot the bill.
Chinese bikes have issues never heard of a Levo burning down!
