Watching the MegaSack video for the MucOff bundle, got me wondering whether Kaercher do a bike-specific nozzle / gun for their power hoses? I’ve been lazily using mine this year and although I’ve checked bearings and wotnot, a slightly less powerful spray would probably be beneficial. Can’t see anything obvious popping up – anyone found anything suitable, or is the Mucoff attachment compatible?

Does the nozzle included here do the job?

The muc-off one has so little pressure with it – I haven’t found one anywhere else with such a low force, it is great. Saying that, with the larger sprayer on maximise spray width, I didn’t find that to be too strong either.
I found the snow foamer more useful, but I am quite lazy when it comes to washing my bike…

Can you not just turn down the pressure? My Kaercher has a pressure knob, I can turn it all the way up and it will paint strip form most things. Turn it down and it’s fine for washing a bike. I would like the foaming attachment though.
Personally, I think I should swap it for something I can run out of my car. I rarely ride from my back door being city bound.

You can get a snow foam attachment for a karcher. Mine was £10-20. As they concentrate of choice and off you go

Use a hose?

I struggle to see why anyone really needs a pressure washer to wash a bike.

My method is to give the bike a very liberal coating of muc-off silicone shine (I think that’s what it’s called but any similar spray would work) just before a ride.

It stops the dirt sticking and then a gentle hose down and the bike is pretty much perfectly clean.

Even if I forget or the the muck dry on, a bucket of soapy water, sponge and brush gets it done with almost zero risk to bearings etc.

YMMV

I bought the Mucoff one a few months back, on an impulse, but have never felt the need to use it, as against my normal method with hose and brushes.

Not “needed”, but I’ve had it for years and due to a house move had become easy to use. When my bike is caked in mud it’s just easy. Still need a brush and bucket to get it properly clean.

Think mine is just the basic one without a fancy knob. The wand part of the ‘gun’ can be detached, was hoping there would be an alternative wand for bikes.
