bakes0310 Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Well i've been a bit mean to my bike by not looking after it. All i do is clean it with the hose and rub it down after some Mr sheen cleaner. Anyway i want to start looking after my chain and break disc. So i bought the following:Muc-Off Biodegradable De-Greaser Muc-Off Quick Drying Chain Cleaner Muc-Off Disc Brake Cleaner I heard Muc-Off products are pretty good and alot of you on here use it. Anyway after reading the helpful sticky on the chain, i couldnt find much info on cleaning the break disc. Im sure its simple to do just spray it and rub it with a cloth. But how often do you need to clean the break disc? Quote
mojobanana Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 You're better off cleaning the brake disc..... Quote
Guest Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 It's not normally necessary to clean the discs, as the act of braking will keep em clean.If you do wish to clean them, then brake cleaner is the stuff to use, spray on, wipe off. Essentially it will clean off any contaminants and not leave any behind. Quote
Tango Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Look after your bike....and it'll look after you!! I like to give the bike a thorough clean. Firstly it looks good after....but also when you are working that closely on it you notice things that you might otherwise miss. Things can work their way loose on bikes and you'll only notice when something drops off unless you keep a close eye on it.....and a good clean is the best way to do this IMHO Quote
