What is recomended maint post getting after it in wet muddy conditions?....

Er, wha?

more beer.

Blizunt.

Garden hose.

Hose it down with seawater and then dust it thoroughly with salt.

LOL... I figured this would tender some funny responses

My hose is put away for the winter, so basically my hands get very dirty when I have to work on something.

I simply hose it off, then store it in a vacuum chamber, submerged in a tankful of warm WD40.

I keep my bike in a van.

Down by the river?

Id imagine you'd need to wipe everything down, clean the mud and grit off the rims, hubs, chain, and Derial's. Then go through and re-lube everything, then wipe of excess lube on chain.

Well just do what I said, since no one else wants to help, atleast its a start lol

mud makes a bike look great in my opinion.

LOL mud on the frame, not the chain, cogs and pivot points and bearings lol.

well, that's what I meant. Mud that doesn't affect function.

fork
levers
frame
wheels
seat
etc

I just hose mine off... If I get real anal about cleaning it, it seems I always end up with dirt somewhere it shouldn't be... then have to teardown the headset or hub or something... only thing i really clean is I degrease the chain and relube.

buy a new bike, it's easier than cleaning the stupid things.

^^ Lol!

It was clean when it was new, wasn't that enough?

yea thats what my LBS said, he said, It'll never look this good again, so dont expect it to.

Clean the chain well. Don't just wipe it down. Either put it through a chain cleaner or take it off and clean it in a bottle. The sand particles in the mud is what will wear your chain out.
