The bike offers a ton of fun until it's time to clean it. Then it's not such fun anymore and now in the fall you need to fight the dirt even more often. To make your bike cleaning easier and help you achieve perfect results, we present effective and ecological cleaners from the Czech brand Bikeworkx.
Necessary evil
We will not lie to each other, only a few people enjoy cleaning the bike. But this procedure is one of the necessary basics of bike care and it simply cannot be done without it. Mud is part of all MTB disciplines, enduro and downhill in particular. The dirty bike negavitely affects bearings, drive, forks and the entire rear suspension, and if you do not remove the dirt in time, not only will the bike not work as it should, but there is a risk of significantly reducing the life of most components. After all, a lubricant mixed with mud works like an abrasive paste.
Every biker certainly knows that and we believe that the love of your machine and mountain biking will not allow you to ride with a half-year-old dirt on the frame and chain. So what is best in this case? Read which Bikeworkx products will provide easier cleaning of your bike.
Honest washing
The core is to wash the whole bike with normal water with a little detergent and a sponge or a fine brush. For more heavily soiled places will help the tried-and-tested Cyclo Star, which creates a dense foam and eliminates dirt.
But the most important is a clean drive system - chain, cassette, derailleur and converter. This is the only way the bike will serve you for a long time, and in this case you can't do without an effective degreaser. This is exactly what Bikeworkx Drivetrain Cleaner is, which we also have in a liter package. The basic procedure for its use is as follows:
- Just spray Drivetrain Cleaner on the chain, cassette, converter and derailleur rollers,
- let it work,
- loosen dirt with a rougher brush,
- rinse thoroughly.
A degreaser spray Bikeworkx Clean Star is excellent for degreasing the brakes, necessary for their perfect function.
Lubrication
After carefully degreased chain and other components comes lubrication. For this purpose, Bikeworkx offers several options:
- The biodegradable Bikeworkx Chain Star Bio oil ensures the smooth running of the chain, as well as cables or pins, and is also environmentally friendly. It is also available in a spray.
- The new Chain Star Max Wax based on wax and water creates a dry and durable film that perfectly lubricates, holds well and does not attract dirt on it. It is also biodegradable.
- Lube Star Original or Lube Star White grease is suitable for lubrication of center, head assemblies, hubs and other bike bearings.
- Bikeworkx Silicone Star oil or Lube Star Silicon paste are the right tools for fork maintenance.
Bikeworkx is a Czech brand that is constantly developing and improves its bike care products. And so, recently, in addition to their efficiency and other benefits, environmental friendliness has also been added.
After all, the whole mountain biking is based on harmony with nature, so choose Bikeworkx products, which leave a minimal footprint and are biodegradable.
