It’s fair to say, I love cleaning/ polishing/ oiling my bikes, almost as much as I love riding them (like a pretty lady, no one wants to ride a dirty, unlubed bike….)

I treated the fleet to this bundle from Freeborn cycles, and I must say the Frame polish is Heavenly!. Smells like refresher sweets!
Called the wife out to have a whiff (yes, we did look like a pair of junkies sniffing aerosols!) and she was reminded of her youth, with memories of eating sweets on the way home from school!

Additionally, the fork lube seems a simple yet effective way of maintaining seals/reverbs too.

All in all, a pretty impressive bundle!

nothing in the world smells nicer than GT85 – FACT

(except contact adhesive or ether) 😳

What do you make of the brake juice? I have a tin of it and I’m sure it does nothing…

I thought similar, but a quick “pffftttt” of this stuff and I was in shock and awe!

RE brake juice – I’ve used plenty of other alcohol based brake cleaners – they don’t do much if the brakes are clean to begin with, but it there’s oil/brake fluid, and you get in early with it, you can save pads and get brakes sharp again.

Gahhhh. We don’t pay your wages for you to go wasting
It on poncy polish. I’m outraged.

Seriously though, sounds like you have a polish addicion. You should see a doctor about that.

Not just frame polish pete – poncy oil and some stanchion lube were purchased with your tax dollars too……

Another vote for the delightful GT85 here as well!

Phhhhh. Too much ponce on this thread

For that reason I’m out.

Castrol R
Steam trains
And
My dogs farts

(Maybe not the last one)

As above
Castrol R
Then GT 85

Zymol wax. Smells of bananas and coconuts.

And it’s really, really good at making frames all shiny.

creosote – many a time I have been tempted to lick it off the fence.

Tub glue for me, I like to give my rims the last coat, in a suitably poorly ventilated area just before I go to work in the morning, absolutely fleeing!

That, and petrol. Best smells ever, oh, and your own farts. Anyone else’s repulses me.

Repped, for Castrol R

Brings back happy memories of spectating at rallies with my Dad when I was a kid.

Frying Bacon
Pine resin
Unleaded fuel. I have had a diesel car for the past 5 years and I miss it so.

oooh yeah, castrol R (was the best thing about going to the speedway when I was young)

was passed by a moped the other day that smelled of it – do they run stuff like that in old vespas ?

Steam trains

the winner… you can stick your solvent abuse up your arses. Steam trains is where its at!

My dogs farts

Mine both do, but not sure it would fall into ‘Ohh that smells lovely’ category 😆

muc off silicon shine smells good. smells like cherries
