I was always told, a clean bike is a happy bike. It can seem like a chore to clean your bike, but it can completely change how it feels to ride and vastly improve your experience while out on those trails. There’s an art to cleaning a mountain bike, and getting it right will make it much easier and quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re an avid mountain biker, then you will probably know you don’t turn up to a bike park or group ride with a dirty bike. First impressions on new riders with dirty bikes are not good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bike will work much more efficiently when not covered in mud. When it comes to cycling, every watt must be saved, and a clean bike<\/a> and drivetrain works much better than a dirty one. You can hugely slow yourself down but not having a clean bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you finish a ride, it’s vital to wash your bike. If not everywhere you put that bike is going to make will get dirty. Then you end up cleaning more and more over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clean components such as chains and cassettes are designed to get dirty, but they do wear out quicker because of this. You can cut the life of your components in half by not cleaning your bike. For example, riding on a beach will wear your components out twice as quickly as on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We Think You\u2019ll Like It:<\/strong> How to Make a Mountain Bike Faster<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nDirty bikes get everything else dirty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
