    Get a can of degreaser, spray the foam on and it just eats the dirt off then quick wipe round with huggies pure wet wipes.
    I'm looking at fitting some of those new wheels so hopefully not too bad

    Sorry for late reply, hadn't checked this thread for a while.

    Almost 1k on the bike, first service done and putting on the miles. Still the biggest improvement over my 2011 is the suspension and engine appears smoother. One thing that I've found a god send is the gear indicator, I always seemed to end up approaching roundabout in the wrong gear, but now it's just a quick glance down.

    Loving it.

    Have to catch up soon.
