Feel like this is a stupid question but how do you guys clean your bikes when they are all cruddy from riding in the wet, my brand new bike is looking sorry for itself after a rainy session, how do you get into the tight spots, I don't want to have to disassemble if at all possible?

It's a road bike BTW.

I'm a roadie most of the time although occasionally use MTB with the kids. Ride in all weathers but bike doesn't tend to get too caked in mud. If the ride has been wet I'll stick it on a work-stand straight after the ride and jet-wash lightly to get rid of most of the much, then degrease with Fenwicks FS-1 bike cleaner. Everything ends up spotless and I'll finish by lubing chain and done.
