then set to work getting to know your bike a little better. even just twenty minutes cleaning a week will make a massive difference to condition and your knowledge of the bike. i can't imagine that 40 quid will buy a proper deep and thorough clean.
quite honestly if you're managing 1500 miles a year the bike is stood still rather a lot. it wouldn't do you or it any harm to learn how to remove the wheels and lubricate some bearings.
no offence intended, just my opinion.
No offence taken. I just can't be arsed cleaning, lubricating or spannering. Each to their own I suppose.
