I guess I should never ever ride my bicycle in the rain or through rivers again. Lol, what are you guys smoking, water is not going to destroy a bike. The only thing you don't want to do is high pressure spray directly into bearings, but a hose down ain't gonna do $hit to a proper bike.
These bikes are built to go to hell and back in rain,mud, snow,sub zero temps over rocks,down mountains you name it they are built for it,YET you people say dont wash them with warm water and a hose pipe? these bikes are made from Carbon,Titanium & Alloy all rust proof they also have ceramic sealed bearings and the bearings run on ceramic grease the chains ect are lubed with Purple extreme dry lube and get cleaned and lubed after every ride the bikes run like a dream and have done for 3 years
so the old hose pipe must be working a treat,Can someone post a video and show me how to wash my bike the correct way?i need some education on the matter as you can see by the look of these bikes in the videos they look like they are in a very bad condition,Mountain bike uk r giving the mobi portable power wash for a bike a big thumbs up it runs at 130.5 psi maybe you could email them and educate them on how to wash a bike.Obviously i would never aim a full blown power wash at unsealed bearings
A hose pipe should be fine, it's power sprays, like the ones for cars you shouldn't use as they are to powerful and take more than the dirt away, just remember to lube up etc after.

This guy says he loves his bike in the info section?
You wouldnt know it by the way he is destroying it w/ this washdown.
Whats funnier to me - is he acts defiant like the 50 posters that warned him are the dumb ones & he is the genius.
Pure comedy - and another argument against public education. Just dumb - & doesnt even know it.
I suppose when your pappy buys things for you, you have no care about expensive toys. What a waste..
