as I have two kids who love cleaning bikes. freaky, but useful

My 3 year old often asks to help clean my bike. Last week he asked for 5 quid when he was finished though!

Not really cleaning but...

I discovered a product from when I had a Triumph Vitesse. This car had a few crusty bits and I tried a biodegradable deruster called deox-c produced by Bilt Hamber. Mix with water and drop the steel bit in and it really does seem to work! I have used it to clean other metals too.

Cleaning a bike comes down to hard work and getting your hands wet. Spokes are a nightmare. Trimble frames are easy to clean.

Sensible people wear nitrile rubber gloves when working on their bikes and so avoid not only getting their hands wet, but keep all that other nasty stuff off them too. That's my top cleaning (and pretty much any other kind of work on a bike or car) tip

The cheaper vinyl or latex gloves are awful, don't bother with them.

SS rigid trimble with tri spokes. Job done.

He'd probably tell him mum that I made him clean it!
