worst case you are extened the life of your bike....
That's why I clean mine. (OK, well, I guess I have to admit that I REALLY clean it because I love it when it's shiny... ) I ride the trainer a decent amount, and sweat gets everywhere, even if I hang a towel on the downtube, turn the fan on full blast, etc... I've read that sweat is not so great for the components, long term (but I've got no idea whether it's true; it makes sense, though ). |
