Hi guys.I am very interested to know how do you guys wash/clean your drivetrain.I mean I know that road bikers out there have their own way of washing the drivetrain all the time and it sounds silly that I dont understand something.I realise that most of my clubmates maintained their drivetrain well(silver).But mine was kinda black like cow dung even though we cycled for similiar amount of mileage.I used an hour to wash em through.Below is the step:
1) Drop oil onto the casette.
2) Play it until it looks super greasy.
3) Use water to spray it as hard as possible.
4) Use a brush dipped into a pail of water+car shampoo to clean the casette.
5) Use a chain washer thingy with degreaser in it to wash the chain.
6) Finally use a cloth to wipe the drivetrain.
BUT IT STILL LOOKS LIKE COW DUNG COLOUR!!!
I tried to buy a new groupset and looked at it all the time after each ride.I found out that it cant be help after a ride i saw the casette eventually getting darker and darker.After a few rides,here comes again the cow dung colour.Can you guys explain how you guys wash your drivetrain???Thx for any replies!
