Such as the rear wheel were you can all the [poo poo] off the chain, i scrub and scrub and use degreesant and it never seems to get [Censored] clean, always seem to end up with smudged crap all over it !
And i never clean the chain, whats the best way to do that ! might have to send it off to you for a valteting, and then just keep it super clean after that !!

Would love to do it for less mate but wouldn't be worth my time. I did one for £50 for 8 hours which took 2 days so £100 but was a lot of work for the money. I originaly put £70 but thought no one would be interested for that. Thing is some shops charge £50/hr for servicing so I don't think the rate is too bad. Fair play for trying though

Yeh it would but also then you wouldn't need to pay me to do it

I lurnt some by doing my own bikes but I've worked for Taylor's for over 6 years so have got tips from some of the other guys there and also by trying and working out things myself. You start thinking 'It might be quicker this way' or 'It might look better done that way'. Experience basicly. I still find new ways of doing things now

Ieal...any chance you would be able to do just a rear wheel, engine, under the frame, and forks...as they are the only things i can never seem to get clean - ever !

By clean do you mean just clean or paint? Whichever I'd be happy to do. Matching paint can be a pain so might have to go for as close as I can get. But as long as I know I can sort something. Give me a ring if your interested, don't forget prices might go up once doing my own business
