Bike drier's

Gargy · Jan 3, 2015

Probably going to be slated here by the usual goons, but thinking of buying one of those fangled drier thingies.

Question is.............. Which one ?.............. Are they any good ?............... Worth the money, or should I not bother.

Hate putting the bike away d1ripping wet, and using microfibre cloth's only dries the bits I can reach, which leaves a lot of nooks and crannies with water puddles.

Looking at pet drier's too, as they are cheaper................. Anyone got one of theses ?

Bike drier's [sic] what....? I think you mean bike dryers. Do you really need one? You don't have a hairdryer in the house or a leaf blower in the garage or garden shed....?

Do a search, big thread on here somewhere about this subject, including pet driers etc.
I was thinking of getting one but bought a compressor instead as it would have more uses. :thumb2

Aha

I got one for Christmas

I haven't used it yet, but in essence what I've actually got is a dog grooming blower. There is a bike dryer that is exactly the same as this, just re-packaged.

(I've tried it on the dog and he hated it ....

£195 for the silver spoon option or £52 ?

He comes from Surrey ......

edit ... Oooo blimey, so do you ... that was meant as a joke at Nutty's expense ....

Get yourself a compressor. It'll do a 1001 jobs. You'll wonder how you ever managed without one. Get one with a decent holding tank though, or you'll end up running out of puff.

The more expensive one, as it's obviously better! :blast

A far too sensible answer and no good for the hairdressers on here

Just don't switch it to suck....ahem.....

Gargy · Jan 3, 2015

Not sure about £195 for one, but the cheaper ones look alright.

As for a compressor, I already have one with a 50Ltr tank............ Not very good for drying........ which is why I'm looking at a drier. (SIC............ of being corrected).

Nutty............. What wattage is yours ?

I'm guilty also

Here you go fella, all the details you need, and they do a few different models depending on budget.

There's several eBay pet dryers that are real good as well.
