Btw, MCHardMan - you can clean your bike with a hose as much as you like. Ban only applies to washing motor vehicles. :)


Are you sure? According to what I've read, washing your bike with a hose would probably fall under 'domestic recreational use', which is not allowed. I'm using a bucket and sponge at the moment as I have neighbours that overlook my garden and would probably complain.

I purchased a lifetime supply of Muc-Off cleaner so I now spray as soon as I get back and then pour a bucket of water over it 5 minutes later.

Little update on my ride
just fitted some superstar bars and grip inserts.

they are riding very well so far. did 21km on them today xc riding.
very benificial for weight distribution in the sticky/slippy mud that was out and about.

looking forward to giving them a proper test with some gravity riding and jumping!
