Okay, please someone tell me the right way to clean a road bike. My mountainbikes are usually covered in dirt and mud, not to mention bugs from being on top of the car, if I want to clean them I clamp them on my Park Stand, lightly spray them down (the frames are aluminum) keeping the water off the components and then I clean the mud off, dry it thoroughly then run the chain through a chaincleaner and then re-lube it. My road bike is dirty, because I ran it through some puddles and since there is plenty of sand on the streets because of winter, its dirty. But being a mountainbiker, I'm not too concerned, but then again, its such a pretty thing... The bike is all carbon fiber, so no worries on rust. Can't I just lightly spray off the dirt and follow the same procedure?
