Sorry guys but I just thought of another question I had...
After I have ridden the bike do you think it is ok to just rinse it with the hose on a mist and then let it drip dry in the shed? (I hand dried it yesterday however a few people have said to just let it drip dry).
Also when I hand dry it could it be bad to get some lubrication of some of the machanical parts onto the rag and then have it transfer to any other parts of the bike? As in could it be bad for the paint or maybe plastics or something (like if it was petrolium based).
The guy at the shop said to just rinse it and leave it to drip dry in the shed would be fine, he also mentioned that its important to keep all the mechanical things lubricated.
On this bike I think that may only really be the chain and maybe the derailleur (sorry just wanted to use the fancy new word), because I think all the other bearings etc are sealed units?
Also is it ok to mention the shop where I bought it from and sort of give them a plug because they have been so great?
Thanks
Craig
