Canby CX bike washing

Shane Gibson

2012-10-18

All - I had Stewart clean my CX bike after Ninkrossi. I can attest to the
fact that he is extremely careful in handling and cleaning my bike - maybe
even more so than I would be - and I thought that would be almost
impossible. I'd recommend his cleaning service without hesitation ... it's
worth it to get the bike clean right after a race, and you'll be
contributing to a good cause for Jr. racing or local trail maintenance.

So I have a tentative plan to be set up at Canby this Saturday with my small washer to offer $5 bike washes.  I'm not to sure where I'll be set up yet, but I'm sure that you can find me.  I've got an older red Toyota pickup and will be using an old OBRA canopy.
I will be racing in the beginners men’s and will be set up shortly there after. 
I've received a bit of feed back about doing this and to answer some questions...
   1.  I use very low pressure and am very careful around BB's, hubs, and headsets.  I build all my own bikes, so I know what goes into them.
   2.  Holding the bike, I will be using a lightly padded transition stand to hook the saddle.  I feel that this is the most stable way to hold a bike while not risking scratching your bike.
   3.  You can not just leave your bike with me...in fear of someone else walking off with it.
   4.  Try to bring exact change.  If you don't have $5...just track me down at the next race and pay me later.
   5.  Part of the money will go to the promoter to pay my vendor fees and part will go into a donation fund...I'm leaning toward the junior program or the NW Trail alliance.
   6.  I do sponsor a couple of teams out there and those teammates do get my attention first so I can fulfill my sponsor obligations to those teams.
 
Thanks, and hopefully this trial run this year will develop into a smoothly running service for years to come.  Please while I'm out there give me any feed back that might help me to improve this service.
 
Cheers,
