Anyone have any suggestions as to a neatly packaged all inclusive bike cleaning kit ? got a Birthday coming up and dont really need much but i hate buying cleaning stuff so thought it would make me an ideal present, looking for something like this i guess:

Pedro's mini pit kit

but open to suggestions for something a bit more fancy, if anyone knows of anything....

(i currently occasionally shoot the hose at my bike, if its dried on dirt i may dig out an old brush.... )

P.S i don't want to open the can of worms about washing up liquid containing salt and that its bad for your health or something, just want a posh bit of kit to stick in the garage in the hope it encourages me to clean up a bit more...

This and some chain lube would be my choice

Also this gear to keep your helmet fresh, its very good and saves knackering the pads putting them in the washing machine all the time

Always good to keep one's helmet fresh

I ordered a cassette Pedro brush last night and some Sh1t Shifter as no were near 99p shop any time soon
Parks one I had before was rubbish bits falling out were the one I got from 99p shop was far better.

Sh1t Shifter meant to be good then Muc off these the a bush set by then Ice tools ok too. have a google on Parks brushes.


£40 quid

Super cheap


L - R
Asda Frame brush £3
Wheel brush 99p from yep 99p shop
Crank brush 99p shop
Cassette brush 99p
Bike cleaner from 99p shop does the job


Also use Juice lubes
Can of Fork Juice £8
Chain Juice Wet £6 - I don't rate this lube make chain all black and crap sticks to chain

I've been spraying some ptfe shizzle on my chain, seems to work, its still a chain... might ask for one of these...

so i get a box to shove it all in...

Skill lessons a better Birthday present

I use the muc-off bike cleaner, but found they now do a concentrated version you can mix up, it's rather handy though as it doubles up as a degreaser when not watered down.

Muck off as Mooh suggested is brilliant for lazy cleaning. Just spray and wash Alternative is Fenwicks FS1 much cheaper tenner for 11 litres once diluted from evanscycles.

he's been to Tony twice he's got plenty of skills !

Hi all,
I must admit .I think I am like sharpes rifles (preacher -oil and brown paper ) -My bike is clean but not the holder.......
My boots need cleaning or throughing away as the wwinter bog water has really made them personnel .......
Looks like a visit to the works stores for a new pair.
Pads on the helmets are smelly best wash them (Thanks for the reminder.)
as for the clothes must have a look at the 2011 fashion clothes so I can get more up to date.
As for the bikes a full time job cleaning them but not as much time as I spend riding them.
have fun .
