    I've got a white saddle and white bar tape on my road bike and it's an awful trial trying to keep them anyway decent looking.

    Does anyone have any tips/techniques/products for keeping whites white?

    Cheers in advance.

    Cif on a damp cloth. Works a treat. :)

    White bar tape varies a lot. I went with recommendations of others and got Fizik microtex tape. Cork tape is a nightmare.

    I haven't cleaned my white saddle for almost a year now...since I took it off my bike.

    Well I'll give the cif a go and see if that sorts it out, might just switch to something darker eventually though, I suppose it's probably the least hassle in the long run.

    Baby wipes! God knows what they have in them, but they shift everything! Grease from a chain off and all!!

    Pledge works on white bar tape, if you can find a furniture polish with lemon in it, it is better
