Great video, thanks! I'm a bike-maintenance learner and my bike was so clogged up with crud I thought it needed serious help. I just cleaned it off and it's running so much better! Best quick and thorough video I could find, perfect for my needs.
Very good instructions 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Just bought a bike at 57 after my last ride at around 12 yrs old. And Yep‼️ Felt like it was yesterday. Except i have a 5 year old Specialized Hardrock and not a Raleigh... lol. Now i can properly clean my bike. ♥️👌🏽🇹🇹
"If you're riding in dry conditions I would say between 20-25 hours of riding." Oops. I messed up that part royally. ;-) Your video has great timing for me. Yesterday I finally got my garage super organized and dialed in. You inspired me buy a bike work stand and some floor mats and start to regularly give the bikes some TLC.
Really helpful, thanks. Those of us that clean bikes can learn a lot from those that detail cars. Per some comments here, I’d suggest also: - remove brake pads before cleaning to avoid contamination - use a quality car soap instead if dish-soap (since dish soap offer contains salt) - clean top down and consider two buckets to avoid wiping dirt and grease from one place to another - no metal tools (e.g. screwdrivers) - lots of brushes and cloths instead please :) - consider paint protection (wax, film etc)
I just got a bike a few days ago and was wondering how to clean it, so I searched up the word and found this. Thank you! I will use this when I clean my bike.
A few issues, you sprayed degreaser on you cogs and you could visibly see it contaminated your disk brake (you did clean the rotor with alcohol but some could have gone onto the pads themselves) and secondly after you lubed your chain, instead of using some of that lube or general purpose bicycle lube on the derailer and jockey you used gt85. You should also wipe any excess lube off your chain so it doesn't pick up unwanted muc. Other then that, great tutorial dude
I really need to clean my bike and this has been really helpful and common sense and not aimed at buying the most expensive tool or piece of equipment that most cycling videos err towards. Thank you!
Very detailed, clear language to understand, well organized, clear sound to hear, no background noise, fablious job. I'll detail my bike to run smooth and cleaned. Thanks and keep up sharing skills.
great video! I just gave my hybrid its first thorough cleaning. I take pretty decent care of my bike, but this took it to the next level. THANKS for sharing.
kiacarter93 yes that was hilarious.. he’s like, don’t be nasty and go in get the one out your bathroom nasty ppl!... it’s sad he even has to tell some ppl this!!..🙄🤦🏽♀️🤣🤣🤣
This was such a good video about how to do a GOOD job cleaning a bike in a very reasonable amount of time. It shows there is no substitute for having the right stuff (chain cleaner saves a lot of time, and the NEW toilet brush is a brilliant idea I had not seen or thought of. Now it will be impossible for me to not go get one today.) I can definitely do a better, more thorough job now in slightly less time than I was taking before. Thank you, sir!
As I watch how you clean your bike, I can almost hear its continuous "ooohs" while you're hosing it down, soaping and brushing it up and it gave a long "aaahhh" when it came to the point of you giving it lots of lubing! Good job. Excellent video!
Great video only thing I do different is I clean/wash the Frame first, this way I am using the cleanest water/soap. it is more for my own piece of mind.
I guess my 2-year-old bike would be screaming for a bath. Hahaha Since I bought my bike, it didn't have a cleaning, specifically in the part where the cassette cogs and chain located. hahaha I am planning to buy cleaning stuff and lubricant for the chain for it to experience cleanliness. hahaha Thanks for the valuable content Clint. :)
if your frame has a glossy clear coat that is looking kind of dull, and no longer shiny, you can put a dab of tooth paste on a damp micro fiber cloth and polish the shine back
My advice would be,,get one, I did,after many years of being unfit and unhealthy I spent the last of my money on a kona process 153, and now I'm getting fit again, ripping up the trails and smallish jumps,so, what you waiting for???
Your vids on bike cleaning were my first mtb vids. Took me into the worlds of Seth’s bike hacks, Nate Hills, GMBN, etc. Still a sub and no looking back now.
Great vid. I however use a leaf blower which delivers high volume at low pressures, vs. an air compressor which delivers low volume at high pressure. Keeps from driving any residual water, solvents and detergents into my critical bearing areas.
I have a Walmart Cruiser and I keep my Bike outside in the dirt (locked up) and its just now starting to surface rust (not bad for a $150 Bike) I put 100's of Miles on it so far with in the 1 year I had it, I ride her EVERYWERE! I Lube it and Wash it... not all the time.
Meguiars high gloss car wax and tire shine MTB looks better than new although tire shine caused my rear tyre to slide 2 inches when I braked hard heh although straighten out tubeles install.. Tim McDroid
Because this is the internet, it seems there is no correct way to clean a bike. So here's a generic comment that people can mentally fill in as they read it: You should never use *{product}* to clean a *{part}* , you should really use *{product}* for that. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw you use *{cleaning tool and/or product}* on your *{part}* ! The correct way to do that is to use *{basically same cleaning tool and/or product that costs 2-3x as much}* to clean the *{part}* by *{random technique}* .
Exactly. I'm completely mortified by the use of a hose. Yet, I think i'm realizing there are other methods of bike cleaning. Apparently, there is a weird set of people who use water.
If you get caught in rain the bike gets wet .. Water does not hurt a bike. Unless you only ride around in the house. Then you should not use water.@@seattlegrrlie
First off a light rain is not a hose pushing water pressure into places water doesn't belong. Second, I don't make a habit of riding in a downpour. Third, water does hurt your bike. Wipe your bike off. You do not need water to get it clean
Wouldn't the air compressor jet force water the same as spraying water? I'd be tempted to not use high pressure anything, air or water. But, maybe it's not enough to worry about. Personally I like to take my wheels off when cleaning, it makes access to the inner frame easier and I can stay away from getting degreaser on my brake pads. I've been thinking of getting a chain keeper/dummy hub for the rear to hold the chain in place while I do this.
Good to see someone maintaining something so it doesn't just fall apart. It makes it far more enjoyable to ride, as well. Yep... I need to get a bike stand. I can probably make one easily enough.
One thing I think deserves a mention is that I think its a good idea to cover your rotors and calipers when decreasing the drivetrain. You don't want any degreaser getting onto your pads especially
If you're spending $3k plus on a bike, I'm certain you want to take care of it. I spent $600 on a bike and the salesman told me it was "entry-level." When I see a cheap bike next to an expensive one, I can't tell the difference. It's not like seeing a Rolls-Royce next to a Chevy.
We don't have Simple Green available in Ukraine, so I used WD-40, but it is a bit expensive. I bought a kerosene in DIY store and will try to degrease the chain with it. Any suggestions what else I could use?
Kerosene is definitely a good degreaser for a chain and drivetrain. And it has some lubrication components to it so it doesn't dry out your chain. Use regular dish soap on the bike, diluted in water of course. I don't like WD-40 for a lubricant. Try this find something like Tri-flow or a bike specific chain lube.
Clint Gibbs, I tried kerosene today on a very gunky drive train and it did the magic. The drive train got very clean. I also used dishwashing soap to finish the job and relubed the chain with bike chain lube. When I took the bike back inside, my wife complained that it stinks with kerosene, so I had to move it to the balcony. Thanks for your video, actually I think I discovered your channel through it.
I also tried mineral spirit and it did fairly good job, however after I switched to shimano wet lube and finish line Teflon dry, I have noticed that I don't get a sticky gunk on my chain, so dishwashing soap should do the job. My conclusion, if your chain gets too dirty and you can't wash it off with dish soap, maybe get a better lube.
Yeah, I've heard this from several websites and im starting to think that this is the right thing to do. If there is extra lube then we need to get it off so it won't get all over the brake and stuff.
Hey Clint... most of your videos are pretty long... what is your "average view duration" ? and how do you retain a viewer for longer than 3 minutes?.... looking at my analytics, I'm thinking I need to keep every video at 3 minutes.. :(
Since I watch most of his videos all the way through, my best suggestion would be to aggressively edit out all the dead spots, and any time you repeat yourself. Clint is really good at that. This 14 minute video was probably 20 minutes without fine editing, and been harder to watch for sure.
That's why I watch most videos at 2x playback speed. Too many channels, like articles, spend a lot of time with superfluous or unnecessary content before getting to the meat of the topic.
Really found cleaning bikes a real pain but now me and my son have really nice mountain bikes we now enjoy doing bike cleaning detail..great video nice one!!!
I need to get a bike stand. That will make all the difference cleaning my bike... no more wrestling the bike or tipping it over. Great, thorough video. Thanks.
Thank you! We are over here visiting Family (Grandchildren) in Thailand by the sea and I cannot believe how all the rain, sun, and then the salt air affects all - rust on the chain & spokes!

@@abu1950 you dont know the wisdom behind charity ?
Nasir Abukar Yeah, that's might be something that only they know the reason to.
Unfortunately it's often crackheads who steal bikes to sell for 50 bucks and want something inconspicuous so this could backfire.

If I ever cleaned my bike that well I would just want to mount it on my living room wall and admire it. Great video!

I am fairly fussy about cleaning my bikes but I still picked up some good tips + products from you, Thanks
"If you're riding in dry conditions I would say between 20-25 hours of riding."

Your video has great timing for me. Yesterday I finally got my garage super organized and dialed in. You inspired me buy a bike work stand and some floor mats and start to regularly give the bikes some TLC.
Oops?? Yeah, well, mine would be more like ("I would say between 200-250 hours..." or more = O LOL)
I missed having a video like this 10 years ago. Better late than never. Thanks, Clint: the video was thorough and encouraging.
I watched the whole session then realized I don't have a friggin' bike.
hahahahaha me too
You could use the same method to clean your dog, cat, and bird.
Get One and get some exercise!!!

I have found when I wash my car the best way to dry it is to use a leaf blower. Sounds crazy but it actually works.
I use that too. Peddle bike and motor bike
Great video Clint
I do most of what you demonstrated on my mountain bike. Did not know about the headset water risk
Thanks!
Right what I was looking for. No high tech, just cleaning the bike. My favourite is definitely the toilet brush - wonderful idea! Thank you.

@@leeschmitz993 it makes no difference how environmentally friendly the degreaser is 😂
After watching the video, I discovered that owning a bike can be more expensive than a car.
If you're spending $3k plus on a bike, I'm certain you want to take care of it. I spent $600 on a bike and the salesman told me it was "entry-level." When I see a cheap bike next to an expensive one, I can't tell the difference. It's not like seeing a Rolls-Royce next to a Chevy.
