Bike Wash?
Does anyone know any petrol stations in Hackney or hereabouts with a self-serve jet wash?They all seem to have gangs of people manning them now who charge and/or won’t let me clean my bike there.

Hiya, sorry I don’t know the answer to your question but just wanted to say that using a jet wash might not be the best thing for your bike – see the note in red in this article:http://www.jimlangley.net/wrench/bikewash.htm

O, this is good advice, thanks!I guess I’ll just wash it the traditional way.

Yes I agree with @goodlegs I jet washed my bike once and blew all the grease out of the bearings. It cranked all the way to the repair shop!
