how do you clean your bikes?

i maintain my bike only when its broken….
i brush my teeth only when they hurt
hahahahaha

i lube my chain. For everything else, I don't touch it. Any minor mechanical issues will undoubtedly get much worse if I try to fix them.

i clean with dirt.

You can eat Foie Gras off it.

i use this stuff called mr.moto sometimes, works great although it's made for dirtbikes, don't use it too much or it can hav some effect on certain bearings, but great stuff, i use it and then spray down the bike, everything just slides off

mostly i try to wipe/brush off the dirt,sometimes clean the chain with the cleaner from MEC lube the chain

Hit all the spokes with a screwdriver , listen for the tone they make, loose spokes make a dull sound while tight spokes make a high pitch sound,tighten if necessary.Almost every freeride bike that I see would come into the shop had LOOSE spoke tension … probably why so many freeriders kack rims

lube cables from time to time

check for loose screws and bolts,especialy the krank bolts

Any certain reasoning behind not using the hose?
