2 year service - is this unusual?

[steeevvvooo]

I use a hosepipe with a trigger thing on it. Reasonably powerful close up if needed but gentle enough to not do too much damage I hope.

My other bike is clunking like mad over bumps and creaks under heavy braking, definitely bearings but think it's head bearings rather than wheel

Sometimes you need a jetwash...

Yep....they're great for stripping ceramic tiles off your garage wall !!!

Yep totally agree. When cleaning my 696 with a sponge not long ago I knocked the rear calliper with my sponge to find both bolts only finger tight - if that. Wouldn't have spotted that if I was using a jet washer. You spot loads of stuff when doing it by hand!

Hi,

Took the rear wheel out for a tyre change and one of the rear wheel bearings has gone so that will be front and rear bearings gone the and bike is just over two years old.
