Cleaning carbon bike frame.

Like many of you here at gcn we love to keep our bikes clean and shiny. Cleaning and washing it s fine to wash carbon bicycles and components like you would any other using warm soapy water and a hose. Touching up carbon chips can be as simple as dabbing on some clear nail polish. Cleaning your bike properly takes minutes but doing so regularly could save you the cost of a whole new groupset later down the line.

It will nicely touch up clear coats over natural carbon frames. Step by step guide 1. Nail polish is cheap includes a brush built into the cap and it dries fast too. Rinse the frame.

How to clean your bike. Once rinsed use mud honey a foaming bucket wash along with our madam palm microfibre wash mitt to clean the bike fully. Wash your bike frame clean and lubricate your chain lubricate your brake and derailleur levers lubricate your brake derailleur cables and your brake derailleur assemblies. Yet as with any bike it s never a good idea to aim the water directly at bearings headsets cranks etc because that can wash the grease out.

Rinse again with a low pressure hose. Do not use a jet wash you ll force mud in and grease out of the important bits. For a very dirty bike rinse with a low pressure hose to remove the majority of mud and grit.
