How to Clean Your Mountain Bike Without Using a Hose
To clean a mountain bike without a hose, start by wiping down the bike with a dry cloth or brush to remove any loose dirt or dust. Once the loose dirt has been removed, use a bucket of warm soapy water and a sponge or soft brush to clean the bike. Pay extra attention to the chain, cassette, and derailleurs as these components tend to accumulate the most grime. After cleaning, use a dry cloth to dry off the bike, and apply lubricant to the chain.
