Hey guys. I have a 2013 CAAD10-4 black and white model. I hate the white because it looks dirty so fast. How do you guys keep you CAAD clean while riding lots? What is your cleaning process and schedule?
Can I spray degreaser on the cassette, derailleurs, chain and chain stay and water off without disassembling the bike after every rise or so?
Yes you can. I use citrus degreaser on chain set and simply green everywhere else. Just be careful not to use high pressure to avoid getting bearings wet. I store my CAAD indoors and between 2/yr baths, the bike gets rubbed down with disinfecting wipes.
