How do I clean my VELOWAVE bike properly?

Cleaning your VELOWAVE bike properly involves a few simple steps to maintain its appearance and functionality. Start by rinsing off any dirt and debris with a gentle stream of water; avoid high-pressure washers, as they can force water into sensitive components. Use a mild soap and a soft sponge to scrub the frame, tires, and components, ensuring you get into the nooks and crannies.

After washing, be sure to dry off excess water to prevent rust, especially around metal parts. Lubricating the chain after cleaning is also essential to ensure smooth operation.

For example, one user found their bike felt like new after a thorough wash and lubrication following a muddy ride.

Pro Tip: Always clean your bike after riding in wet or dirty conditions to maintain performance.

However, if your bike has specific components that require special care, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning.
