Thesis Statement :To maintain cleanliness on bike's

Introduction:
Keeping your bike clean is not only a matter of choice; it's an obligation
that can have a direct impact on the bike's overall performance, durability, and safety.
Regular bike cleaning is an essential part of responsible ownership, regardless of
your experience. The accumulation of dirt, grease, and substances not only affects the
appearance of your bike but also has major effects on its mechanical components. A
possible outcome of not keeping our bikes clean is that components on the bike, such
as the chain and drivetrain, can rust. In this topic of the importance of bike cleaning,
we will take a look at the different reasons that maintaining a clean bike develops
beautiness as well as safetyness on the bike.

First, prepare all the tools and equipment we are going use. First things first, get a
bucket and add water to it, then add some soap or bike shampoo . However keep in
mind that you must use a degreaser—preferably a foam degreaser from Cycle Gear—
before the bike gets wet or before giving it a water wash. Secondly, take a brush and
clean the drivetrain or chain and brush like just like you're painting an art. After that,
clean the chainwheel and the jockey wheel, or pulley, by spinning it with a flat-head
screwdriver until all the dirt is gone. Furthermore it's time to clean the whole bike
using the bike shampoo and with the help of a sponge. Cleaning the cockpit or
handlebar/dropbar has to be done first. Work your way backward and downward, and
remember that soapy water works much better. Using a little brush to thoroughly
clean the bike's angles and tiny areas is another helpful piece of an suggestion.The
first step is going to remove the front wheel after giving the bike a complete rinse
with water. The starting point in this process is to clean the front fork and wheel, and
the following one is to remove and clean the back wheel. The following procedure is
to remove the front wheel first after giving the bike a thorough rinse with water. The
initial purpose of this process is to clean the front fork and wheel, and the following
one is to remove and clean the back wheel. Once the bike has been cleaned with
water, use a fresh towel to dry off all the wet spots. If you have WD-40, apply it to the
bartape to get rid of the smell. The last step is to apply chain lube. Just to give you a
reminder, there are two types of chain lubes: dry and wet. Choose one that you are
going to use, and you're good to go.
