I love it. Such a simple solution to one of the more annoying problems when it comes time to clean the bike (or other times when the rear wheel needs to be removed). I ordered two, one as a gift.
The long handled "Special Brush" that he uses to clean the hubs brakes, rear and front mech is a Morgan Blue 'Quick and Clean' Brush. I've just bought one from Wiggle but it's available online from other shops.
He's lucky that the bike was clean before he started washing it. If I'd use the same brush that I used to clean my cassette with to clean my handlebar tape, I'd have black bar tape instead of white..
Great video and advice. Morgan blue has the best cleaner and lube by far. And their chain keeper is good. If cleaning a bike that is actually dirty, best wear some cheap waterproof work gloves. I would not use a brush that has an exposed metal end.
Morgan Blue Chain Keeper. I just got it in the mail, I really dig it. Pedro's makes a version, but it has a skewer which is a bit cumbersome, I like that this one uses a simple wing nut.
Are you not concerned about getting water in the bottom bracket or wheel bearings with that high power water hose? And what about lubing the brake and derailleur joints after washing?
I'm a fan of keeping my bike clean and I'm sure the bike gets real clean after this process but I've always been skeptical with using so much water and soap. Doesn't all that soap and water getting into the bottom bracket/headset/wheel hub bearings, seepage into the frame through the seatpost, under the bartape etc. accelerate wear and tear? Is the traditional wipe with rag option more desirable? What is your opinion on this?
i think if you clean your chain after every ride, you can keep it so clean as in the video (it was already cleaned, no black grass on it). The morgan blue chain keeper is really a nice piece to have - in US as I couldnt get one (from Wiggles the shipping cost is $18!!), I got the Pedro's Chain keeper from Amazon ($12.00). For cassette, the same, clean it every ride otherwise the best way is to take it off, dip in degrease and clean cog by cog...I did it and it became brand new!
Hoi, dank voor de duidelijke video! Hoe heet dat stukje dat u in het achterwiel plaatst nadat u het wiel verwijdert hebt? En waar kan ik dat kopen? Vriendelijke groet!
I was told by my local LBS that I should not spray the sprocket and the rear hub because it will remove the grease inside the hub. Is that true? The rear hub was once very noisy and they told me that. Isn't the hub sealed?
Can anyone please tell me what that work stand is called (or the type it is). The way it mounts to the front fork and doesn't need to hold onto the frame seems extremely useful for carbon bikes.
I am considering a carbon frame, but am hesitant to get this type of work stand because of the hassle of having to take at least one wheel off each time. The ability of being able to keep both wheels on seems advantageous for brake adjustments. What are the advantages of the take-wheels-off type of stand compared to the frame-clamp stands?
GizmoBitz it's far easier to clean a bike with the wheels off, thanks to quick release skewers they're off and back on again in seconds. You can adjust the brakes when you're done and the wheels are back on.
I love how videos like this always have a clean road bike to be cleaned. If only you guys saw my road bike...
adrian13 - you need to clean it more often.
+adrian13 exactly!! they always clean a clean bike! my bike looks like it's been in a war zone!
Ashkan Ahmadi Loool
Best video on CZcams how to clean your bike , used this video method 5 years ago , bought all the Morgan Blue kit and have never looked back .
There are an awful lot of bike cleaning videos out there but this is by far the best one. Watch this, ignore all the others.

This was and is the best tip ever seen as tips for cleaning road bikes.
Thank you for the amazing cleaning video. I found it extremely helpful and it is great for a smoother ride :)

Good information. It helps me a lot. Thanks.

Great video, but what is the long bendy brush that you use, this looks to make the process much much easier.
do you clean it like this if its a steel frame?
that is the closest to the stand I have found, it is very good, pivots 360 degrees hold well and folds easily.
Great video.
Best video on youtube
Great Video! THX! But where can i get the special blue, long brush for wheel cleaning.
is it the same way for cleaning a specialized venge with matte frame ???

Morgan Blue Chain Keeper. I just got it in the mail, I really dig it. Pedro's makes a version, but it has a skewer which is a bit cumbersome, I like that this one uses a simple wing nut.
Great video, what's the device called that holds the chain out taught so it runs without rubbing on the frame, brilliant bit of kit :)

Hello, where can I buy a piece like this blue to stretch the chain? Thanks, regards
Great video - Where can I get the tool to keep the chain taught? And what is it called?
Thanks, Ryan
GOOD VIDEO! TY A LOT!!!!

very good job
One great vid
Can you do one for mountain bike, since they tend to get dirtier and have different hardware (Disk breaks). Thanks.
Great video, what is the name of the bike-stand ?
Do you use the same sponge for the frame, as for the brakes and the pedals??
What is the "special brush?"
what is the piece that held the chain up and stopped it from rubbing against the frame
Great video thanks! I'm amazed how much water he used lol
What do you call the device he uses to hold the rear derailleur tension once he pulls out the rear cassette? I'd like to get one.
dummy hub
in love with special brush ! lol
I never knew how satisfying it can be to watch a bike being washed
Do I have to worry about the bolts and daraileurs getting rust?
Aaron .T not if you can change them all to Titanium bolts, saves a lot of faffing around
C'est une super vidéo j'aimerais devenir mécano et cette vidéo est superbe

A special brush
Another special brush
And another special brush
I picked up exactly the same chain holder from a LBS cost about €5/£3.50 makes cleaning really straight forward
The chain keeper is relatively easy to find, but I have been looking for that long skinny brush forever without success.
Search around for a bottle brush, the ones used for cleaning babys bottles, there very similar and cheaper
try finding a paint brush. like at a art store
Grayson Wickel a two foot long paintbrush? Watch the video.
Well.. My bike is a 2012 Stumpjumper comp FSR. The spec says it's double-sealed catridge bearing on the rear hub. Does it leak then?

As much care and attention given to bike as rider, that guy loves his job but when one missed gear can loose a race.....great video thanks
Anyone know what the paste is he uses to degrease the chain and cassette ?
what do you call that thing used for the chain not to touch the frame. some sort of roller
Morgan blue chain keeper
Anthony Treo It's a dummy hub

Yeah cycle kab milti hai
buen video
How many special brushes do you need.....
I was told by my local LBS that I should not spray the sprocket and the rear hub because it will remove the grease inside the hub. Is that true? The rear hub was once very noisy and they told me that. Isn't the hub sealed?
Whats name this component on the frame for chain???
Morgan Blue Chain Keeper, you can purchase them from Wiggle.
What kid of bike repair stand is that? I know it is park tool but which model?
Did he just use the sponge on the brakes right after using it on the chain??
Can anyone please tell me what that work stand is called (or the type it is). The way it mounts to the front fork and doesn't need to hold onto the frame seems extremely useful for carbon bikes.

Is it easier to clean the wheels when they're on the ground (more leverage/control since it doesn't move around/turn)?
What is the pin he puts into the rear dropouts at 0:25 and where can I get one?
Morgan Blue Chain Keeper
www.wiggle.co.uk/morgan-blue-chain-keeper/
Chain Keeper from Morgan blue. Wiggle has them, best 5 quid I've ever spent.
it's called a chain hanger or 'keeper'. most tool brands (Park, Pedros, etc.) offer one now.
