Boys 'n Girls, I did this one a while ago, but just came across the pics and decided to share to some that might not have been it yet. Had a lot of fun with this one!!! This is my bike. It's a 2005 Santa Cruz Blur with the best of the best on it. If you're into mountain bikes, you might recognize some of the bits. A very, very nice bike and it's a shame I don't take better care of it. But when you're taking 4 foot drops, and smashing the bike into whatever crosses your way, well, detailing isn't always on the top of your list! 1) Sprayed down with Lowes Foam Gun w/ Megs Gold Class + PB Bug Squash 2) Washed with Megs Gold Class 3) Derailers / gears washed with P21S Wheel Cleaner 4) Dried with Cobra MF and Ridgid Shop Vac 5) PB Natural Look on tires 6) Sealed with PB EX-P Here we go, enjoy! And I present to you the finished product... :woot2:
Piet, I would have never guessed you liked bikes too! thats an awesome detail! NL looks awesome on the tires...I am too afraid to dress mine. Are your brakes mechanical ? The rear kind of looks hydrollic
that is sweet!!! i use to be big in Mtn. biking... couldn't convince my parents to buy me a $2000-$5000 bike!! cut ur grass
That's what I love to do Pat! Ride this ruud boy up and down the trails and get some built up agression out of me. The dressing of the tires was a stupid idea: that same day I took it out and I got NO grip on ANY rocks. The brakes are hydrolic. Phil, I want you to love them BOTH!!! You cannot put a price on your health!!! That's how I looked at it... :applause2:
Cool beans! I am looking for something a little lighter. I might get a hard tail....but that looks sweet, how much does it weigh in at?
:giggle: Nice turnaround! Looks like you had been having some fun on that bike from the before pics. Where did you get the sprayer?
You have her looking good.... My question is how in the heck you set on them seats? There are not enought pading for me....LOL...
Thanks! I got the sprayer from Lowe's, I always use it. It's great for foaming up the vehicle before washing it when doing a full detail. Does a good job for $10! Just a good 'ole Rebel XT... They don't call those seats the WIDOW MAKER for nothing Sparkie! I do wear biker shorts with padding in them, that usually helps. But after a while, you need to get up off that saddle and stand up a bit!!!
