Bike cleaning.

Just a quick one…..who uses a jet wash to clean there bikes.
My old fella has just given me a low presure jet wash the nozzle is a very wide spray and looks like a mist, think its called a fan type spray.? It says it’s 70bar Same as this

As long as its useded from a distance would it do much harm to the sealed bearings
Most normal jet washers are around 100bar +

Just don’t concentrate it on sensitive areas like shock seals and sealed bearings and you’ll be fine. I’ve got a mobi v-17 and none of the bikes I use it on have suffered any ill effects.

Use a stiff brush too, don’t rely on the pressure washer to shift everything.

I use a Mobi v-17 straight after I’ve finished riding, washes the crud off without using any chemical cleaner. Just keep the lance away from bearings, headset and seals.

I use one of these (and have done for years) and save electric.
