cleaning the bike

The commune is setting up a bike maintenance station. There are no tools so far, or perhaps because it is open 24/7 so if there were they would disappear. But there is a strong light (to examine the bike and do repairs), air, and water with a strong beam to clean the bike. There is where I'm a bit hesitant, don't you flush away grease in layers and get water into the the chain, and wash away lube? About the layers in modern bikes, are they "machine layers" (?), i.e. sealed in a small cylinders or discs, or are they open as in old bikes with or without retainers? Should you clean your bike with that much force and water? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 Certainly you do. So you don't spray the bike uncontrollably with water. You have a small bucket and some dish soap available to wash the dirt off of your bike. Boxes of "mechanics rags" which are paper towels that are a bit stronger can be used to wipe the bike dry. |
