Amazing video. I'm in my late 50's and I worked on cars and airplanes, but I never really knew there was proper way to wash a bike. I've always old schooled it by slopping soap all over it, blasting it with a water hose and overlubed the chain with too much oil. I've even recently purchased a Park Tool maintenance stand, and the home mechanic tool set and dummy hub. I'm living proof that old dogs can be taught new tricks...🤣

It really cannot be stressed enough how useful the dummy hub is and also how rare it is to find in brick and mortar stores.

@judgegarry Рік тому

It's critical for you to learn and practice what many people call square breathing, or controlled, purposeful breathing technique. It begins without relaxation of your diaphragm. Consontrate on exhaling completely while, as much as you can maintaining a relaxed diaphragm, then you take in a smooth, full breath through your nose.Hd that breath for a count of 4, exhale completely in a rhythm that ends on a count of four. Relax counting to 4, then repeat the process. It will take a bit of patience and practice, but eventually you'll easily find your bodies own rhythm, so your square breathing doesn't leave you out of breath, or where you're hyperventilating. Trust me, this worked like magic for me, and others I've suggested to try it. The real key, and critical to success is to close your eyes and RELAX YOUR DIAPHRAGM. Think about "becoming your breath". The Buddhist Monks have been doing this for centuries so there's something to consider about it. With practice i give you my word, if you are serious about it and keep trying to relax (total relaxation of your neck and face seems key as well), use as little muscle movement as possible (even in the way you change from inhaling through your nasal passage to exhaling out your mouth, with as little movement in your mouth), I'm as sure as I can be, you will eventually reach a point where YOU are in control, not your emotion... Please try, try, try! Pass this on, share it with your friends and family. Good health to you, and blessings on your adventure. ⚖👨‍⚖️⚖ JudgeGarry

A clean bike retains its value longer. Budget tips: Old toothbrushes are good replacements for those tools, it just takes longer to wash. A nail brush with an used kitchen sponge on top can replace the chain cleaning tool. A bar or rope to hang your bike, or simply leaning it against a wall replaces the stand.

@Kehlsteinhaus7 5 років тому

Love this, but seriously.... I only had a yellow dish sponge, a common garden hose with no nozzle and a dry pair of rags (one for wiping off the chain, and one for wiping off the rest of the bike) 1) Set your bike up against a wall or put down the kickstand 2) hook up the hose and place your thumb over half of the end of it to produce a slightly pressurized stream. 3) quickly hose the whole bike including chain, everything. Get off all large pieces of dirt and leaves from every corner. 4) quickly take rag number one, wipe every part of the bike starting from the wheels until mostly dry. 5) then take sponge, get sponge completely wet, squeeze once, use soft side to get the rest of the dirt from all over the bike. 6)squeeze sponge till completely void of water and dab the bike clean. (Quick cleaning above) (Deeper clean instructions below) 7) get on bike, ride forward and shift chain to highest front wheel gear, lowest back wheel gear, apply rockstar gold lube(cleaning plus lubricant wet lub if don't have) by dripping it on chain from lowest back wheel gear while you spin the chain. Then let spin for few seconds, then take rag two and hold the chain on the bottom by the back wheel shifting mechanism then spin chain while holding it, pull chain through the rag, repeat till you think its clean enough. 8) Apply lube as in step 7, but this time, let chain spin till it stops dripping lube on the ground, pull full chain length through rag like twice as in step 7. Take bike somewhere and let sit for 2 hours for maximum effect(doesn't matter though) This should take you like 25 minutes on your first try and 10-15 minutes on all others depending on how dirty everything is. You're Welcome. ;D (Do what is in the video for deep deep cleaning) should do when super dirty or after like a month of bike riding on regular roads no weather conditions)

It seems like such a trivial task but you can do so much wrong. There's nothing like the feeling after you cleaned and lubed your bike perfectly though

@pocket83 5 років тому

Respectfully, experience has taught me that this is silliness. How to _really_ clean a bike in two steps: 1) spray entire bike with WD-40 2) blast all of it away with an air compressor If it's *really* tough grime, 3) 'Scrubbing Bubbles' and a toothbrush (no water), then repeat #1 and#2. Assuming you have the room, the compressor, and WD by the gallon, you don't have to waste all of this time and effort just to end up promoting rust inside all of your bearings. And chain lube is a waste. No hate; I've just changed my mind over time and after many bike restores.

Why am I watching this when I don't even own a bike?

@samanthaq2773 6 років тому

Braselton94 Because deep down inside you really want to get a bike and start riding again? Washing this prepares you for washing your bike when it needs it! Get a bike, you'll not be sorry!

@EpididymisCowper 6 років тому

Because you are going to buy one and take one more car off the road

@helloyello182 6 років тому

I have a lake near my house, I throw my bike in it , wait 1 minute , and then I lube my chain with cooking oil, and my bicycle works better than new . :D

@SyntaxTerr0r 6 років тому

I do the same, except I use motor oil, wipe the excess and throw the rag in the lake. After a few hours, I can pick up dead floating fishes for dinner.

@aussiemtb200 6 років тому

I do the same but use paint remover on my frame and candle wax on the drivetrain

@donlyone5787 6 років тому

I do the same but i throw it in the sea for a few hours and when i ride it, there is a new orange colour on the bolts and noisy crank just like a motorcycle.

@guysimpson2080 6 років тому

I throw mine in the river and I never have to listen to noisy cranks after that!

‘I do the same’ but I never retrieve the bike back cause fish’s winds of stealing them leaving me on getting another bike

Title should have been : "How to wash a bike while under the influence of a moustache". Great concentration challenge. Thanks.

@NDemanuele1 3 роки тому

Wow, most of the time is spent cleaning the drivetrain. It is the most important! Lately, I been cleaning it more. I like the use of the water bottle. I'm going to start using it!

@Emergenttheory 5 років тому

Thanks Calvin, some good tips here!

@jasonadams3922 5 років тому

Riveting Video! I'll certain wash it again.

@navi-charlotte 7 років тому

@Abraksas112 4 роки тому

that's actually a great idea. Thanks for the hint

@fun_ghoul 4 роки тому

@@Abraksas112 Be sure to do it on your lawn, asshole. You know, because your bike is lubricated with tree sap and rainbows.

@codykautz131 7 років тому

I've always heard not to use dish soap on a bike, as it usually contains salt which can cause your bike to rust more quickly especially in tight crevices. Opinions?

@101francis101 4 роки тому

Cody Kautz I’ve heard the same - why would they not use a bicycle specific shampoo or car shampoo considering how thorough they are in every other regard? Also, dish soap would remove any wax protection from the paint too.

@peterlehman8448 Рік тому

Highly highly highly doubt that dish soap contains salt, but check the ingredient label. Moreover, if you are using "hard" water there may be "spots" of calcium deposits ... from the water! Not that I would worry about it too much. Usually only a problem in plumbing.

14:58 and 14:59 you can hear the cameraman trying not to laugh after Calvin's pun, and then hear Calvin himself trying not to laugh as he continues talking lol
