I strip the the bike down every weekend at the moment.
Wheels off and cleaned and re inflated.
Both chain rings off, cleaned frame washed down and re polished, brakes off and thoroughly cleaned.
I use the Park Tool for cleaning the chain, at the moment, every other week as the weather has been so bad. Re lube with oil that has to be left for an hour.
Chain had been getting rusty, but this method seems okay for me at the moment, but I do 600 miles a month, I don't expect the chain to last more than 12 months anymore....
Gear mechs cleaned each week etc. So the whole bikes looks like new come Monday morning. Takes me around 2 hours.
Worth it.
