2 CLEANINg yOUR BIkE.

After your ride, wash your bike with soapy water (liquid dish soap is recommended for its ability to remove
grease without damaging the bike). Avoid using high-pressure washers if possible. If you have to use one, avoid
directing the stream directly at the joints and bearings (for full-suspension models).
dry your bike with a soft cloth in order to avoid rust and corrosion. while carefully drying your entire bike, you
will also be able to inspect all the different parts and detect any potential problems.
before storing your bike in a clean and dry place, lubricate the drivetrain parts with an appropriate product.
You can also take this time to control the brakes, see if the wheels are deformed, and check for any play.
