How to clean your Ribble bike safely

Keeping your Ribble clean not only makes it look great but also helps components last longer. The key is to use the right approach.

  • Avoid pressure washers and hosepipes – high-powered jets can force water and grit into bearings, washing out grease and causing premature wear.

  • Use a gentle method instead – a bucket of warm water, a soft sponge, and bike-specific brushes are ideal.

  • Work from top to bottom – start with the frame, then move to the drivetrain and wheels.

  • Finish with lube – once your chain is dry, apply fresh chain lube to keep everything running smoothly.

A little regular cleaning goes a long way in keeping your bike in top condition.
