its much faster for pro mechanics to do this because the bikes and their components are consumable. I heard a mechanic once say, "don't do this to your bike because it wont last as long. we do it because that doesn't matter to us". also riding your bike in rainy and or windy conditions will do as much damage as pressure washing it. so when people complain about pressure washing and then take their £6k bike out in the rain I facepalm.

This is so cool to watch. Got my precious BMC spring of 21 and I put more miles on it per week than my Jeep. But the only maintenance I do is pump up the tires 😝so I tried to go about cleaning it yesterday, and realized very quickly I was out of my league lol. So took to bike shop and they’re going to take the drive train totally apart and put in their parts washer! Plus bleed my brakes whatever that means since I have to squeeze them 3x to actually get a stop, and abunch of other “take care “ Stuff for my bike. The bike was too pricey and too much risk IMO for me to try to hard core clean it myself. I know it’s lame of me to not do myself but dang, they set me up with a loaner new Trek for my inner city houston commuting, which I’m digging right now, and I’ll get my BMC in 5 days practically in new condition😊 cost some money but es ok, I’ve saved so much doing 99% of my commuting on my BMC. I love bikes
Unless there's gravel stuck to my bike, I never wash it now that I wax my chain. The bike gets 500mi a month of commuting. Too much grease gets washed out, just from a regular hose, so it isn't worth it to me just to make the paint look clean. The bike is aluminum, so it won't rust, and the wax keeps the drivetrain clean. Washing is overrated unless the bike is muddy af.

Because pros only use the bike for a couple of weeks and then it is completely dismantled and reassembled. An ordinary cyclist should never use a pressure hose
Mechanics have maybe like 10-12 bikes to wash and prepare for the next stage each day during the grand tour, so they don't have time to care about durability of bike's parts.
They have advantage of having pressurized water dirt comes off easily because of strong pressure impact meanwhile me washing it with a no pressure water just normal hose
That pressure washer was set to crowd control suppression and took off the top layer of 2 layers of cervelo micro carbon lay up.. 😂😂😂😂 Only the pros can do such a lazy 💩 job 😮😮 No wonder Cav is always throwing his bike back to the mechanics 😂😂😂😂
Great video , showing how you should NOT wash your bicycle. So why pros do it? Because they know that bicycle most likely won’t survive to the end of tour or season because of crash.
they do this because they can afford to do this. if you do this to your own bike or ride your bike in the rain you will end up having to replace parts much more frequently.
He has 8-10 Bikes and 40 wheels with spares to clean, check, repair, prepare for the next day. Maybe even more when there were crashes. Theres no time to stick to washing rules with pressure washers.
The two hilarious things about the comments here, one the hole idea that you will get water in the bearings has been tested and debunked so many times I don't know how people think it's an issue. And second most pro teams don't get everything for free, not every team you see on Sram or Shimano drive trains are getting them for free, I'm sure they are getting wholesale prices, but they are still buying them. And little bonus most of these teams are running ceramic bearing that need to be cleaned out and regreased regularly anyway.
“but the manual says not to power wash the ____” Yes, because the manufacturer doesn’t want to be held accountable for warranty when consumers are armed with 1800psi/125 bar of stupidity. If you know what you’re doing like this guy does, you won’t hurt anything.
Well unless if ur a world tour athlete sponsored by a bunch of companies that will constantly supply with new parts for free, i wouldnt mind jet washing my bike cause i get new free components from sponsors
I hope he took the brake pads out or else you should cover the brake pads with eg a plastic bag. You really do not want to spray any grease from your chain on your brake pads
Questionable. Just checked the manual of a groupset. It say not to pressure wash it, which is logical I guess, since even water proof devices can get damaged from that close and with that high pressure. But they probably will use another group set and this is something for showcasewindows or something.
Well I guess they are provided with fresh things by sponsors every now and then, so the time saved by pressure washing is... Logical. I mean it adds up when you have to do like 10 bikes no? Kinda obvious that time is everything when it concerns the pros.
Its only ok for the pro teams to do this because there going to overhaul or replace the bearings after each race. Pressure washing will 1000% damage bearings if there not attended for after the fact
Once the seal gets old, due to uv, temperature, age, abrasion. Then yep water and dirt will get in. We don't use jet washers on aircraft components for that simple reason. At the end of the day it's just a cheap rubber seal, it will give way, just like washing machine bearings, the soap and heat destroy those.
This is not recommended, the pressure against the bearings, washing with the batteries installed and etc… I understand because they need to fix everything until the next race. But fun general dos not do that.

Here come the bearing police.
Omg! Don't pressure wash the bearings! It will force the water and displaced the grease! Aaaarrrrrgggggg!

A problem for real people. That bike will be in the training pile before the corrosion shows.
That stand seems insanly practical
I know I want one now
I need one now
I’m still servicing my bike upside down, sitting on the handlebars and saddle 😂😂😂 Could definitely do with one of those
They are called 'beam stands". Bike Hand makes a very good one that's affordable.
I went and gave my bikes a hug after watching this... 😌
Exactly how you should wash a bike when you have free parts
I promise as a pro mechanic punters care much more about their bikes than seasoned racers are let alone the pros for a lot of reasons
A lot of reasons all to do with money 😂
Here for the ridiculous "you're gonna ruin the bearings" comments

Xand assembly standard PRO, have one myself and super usefull for washing and maintance

Gibt es diese Achse mit dem Zahnrad im Zubehör?
How much oil to use for the chain?
So how do you wash the rear wheel and cassette?
Like that. But smear it afterwards.
When you buy it with your own money you never wash it like this.
Really why? I was mine like this all bikes going strong no issues.

Mucoff literally makes a pressure washer for bikes...all pro teams use them. Much like any tool these is a right way and wrong way to use them.

What's the park tool number of that paint brush?
PB 007
Best reply so far 🤣
smile when you get bristles stuck in the chain links.
WD40, quality lube and old t-shirts are all one needs.
I actually started using a paintbrush! Been cleaning my bikes for 3 decades... the paintbrush is it!
@@ralphc1405WD40? What lol
Iv got a water meter so just spit on some toilet paper and wipe.
L’air comprimé y a pas mieux pour nettoyer !
I feel your pain peter worst thing I ever had put in.
I don't think 1500 psi is enough, crank it to 3500 psi and get the job done.
Don't forget the 0 degree nozzle
I love washing my bike!!!
What does people mean by bearing?
Because pros only use the bike for a couple of weeks and then it is completely dismantled and reassembled. An ordinary cyclist should never use a pressure hose
How much pressure Sir ?😂
Sir Yes Sir. 😂❤🎉
Regards from Germany
Considering all the bearings and bottom bracket would be replaced regularly, it makes no sense to worry about some direct water contact lol
And the fact the bearings are all sealed !!!
@@bradfordzone5187sealed bearings will still let water in with that kinda pressure. I see it all the time as a bike tech
And someone else will be paying for it...
@@bradfordzone5187 they ain't sealed even in the so called sealed bearings you'll get water ingress into all of them especially at high pressures.
you can do it like this if you need the bike for just some races
Anyone know what seat that is?
Proving that washing your bike dosent have to be rocket science 👏
I want that stand!
pressure looks a tad high from what i’ve been taught. this ought to speed things up. 🎉😂… my bikes gonna get fkd up
Mechanics have maybe like 10-12 bikes to wash and prepare for the next stage each day during the grand tour, so they don't have time to care about durability of bike's parts.
Wow…. The height of that saddle though. 😮😮😮
Lost me at the power washer
Okay the paintbrush is a really good idea

what's the name of the tool the chain rests on instead of the cassette?
Pedro’s makes one.
Dummy hub, Park tool also
Yeh l was wanting 2 know that as well . Gr8 👍 move . Where do we purchase one . If u find out shoot me a message pls 🙏 😅
You're fired. give me that job and you'll see how the bikes are prepared for the race!
That pressure washer was set to crowd control suppression and took off the top layer of 2 layers of cervelo micro carbon lay up.. 😂😂😂😂 Only the pros can do such a lazy 💩 job 😮😮 No wonder Cav is always throwing his bike back to the mechanics 😂😂😂😂
Dynamic products very good
Im surprised the chain would not be replaced.
Great video , showing how you should NOT wash your bicycle. So why pros do it? Because they know that bicycle most likely won’t survive to the end of tour or season because of crash.
Mechanic CV. Previous experience includes Karchering patio stones.
Go thing they have a bearing supplier since all the bearings will have water ingress
I've always been told dont use pressure spray on ya leg overs
they do this because they can afford to do this. if you do this to your own bike or ride your bike in the rain you will end up having to replace parts much more frequently.
El agua a presión es muy corrosivo, se debe aplicar es ángulos, ahí las pastillas de freno se contaminaron...
Does anyone else use drivetrain cleaner on their frame? Is that a thing?
Sically the same way everyone does but probably with a stronger jet wash
Блин, начиналось все так хорошо...
And here I thought they just threw them out at the end of the day 😂

Poor bearings 😢 Don't actually recommend doing it for the average person that don't change bike every year.

So no waxed chains here
I always wonder about this, thanks TH-cam algorithms!

This is fine as long as your disassemble and repack the bearing once a week.
this is fine just ride your bike 😂
people that cry about power washing and bearings are the funniest 😅

And the slowest 😅😂
Want to see Lewis Hamilton's mechanic in jeans and a vest with a pressure washer.
Thanks
When you and the riders both don't own the bikes, do this.
Im like this once a month maybe
Nothing like inhaling solvent fumes.
Bye bye bearings 😢😢😢
My bike is sad at this video.
A pressure washer pushes dirt and grime between bearing seals .
Once the seal gets old, due to uv, temperature, age, abrasion. Then yep water and dirt will get in. We don't use jet washers on aircraft components for that simple reason. At the end of the day it's just a cheap rubber seal, it will give way, just like washing machine bearings, the soap and heat destroy those.
Water pressure is way to high...
I'll just wash my own😂
Shame it’s disc brakes
Vero good 👍
No….no
I only go hard and fast when I’m ON MY BIKE
Who needs grease in their bearings anyway
Too much pressure of the water
Put the pressure washer nicely into the bearings...yeah ..sure that is the right way
While the riders change blood...
Sorry.... not the way to do it. Washes bearings of grease!
It looked better with shimano

Así hago la limpieza de mi bici y no es de buena marca

Job creation scheme for the other mechanic who has to re-grease the bearings every 500 miles.
I never thought of using a thick paint brush for degreasing chains. This hack is fast, efficient and cheap.
Not so pro with that power wash 😂
О боже что он делает, никогда не мойте велос пед водой под напором...
Bye bye bearings
Even pro mechanic doesn't remove the etap derailleur battery during wash. OK I won't remove mine either lol
They don't have to worry about replacement costs...
It's called a Dummy Hub.
Are your parts free?
Power washers are a no-no for the average rider....
This is not recommended, the pressure against the bearings, washing with the batteries installed and etc… I understand because they need to fix everything until the next race. But fun general dos not do that.
I'd like to think, after it came off that stand, he threw it onto the floor and drove off 😂
Never will wash my bike this way. Sorry jako
This is not the way.
...if you don't get replacement parts from the sponsors regularly.
I would say he a amateur.
