I was over at a shop the other day, and someone was finishing washing their bike. After the rinse, they started using what I might call a puffer to blow off excess water. It was maybe 25cm long, with a nozzle, and maybe 4cm diameter. Accordian-like.
It did seem to work, but I'd never seen/used anything like that--I choose a sunny day, wash, and then keep the bike in the sun, giving it a light bounce now and then to knock off the water.
Obviously a real compressor would be a great way to blow-dry a bike, but this person was just giving little puffs at the brakes, etc.
Have I been missing something, or skipping some all-important, crucial step?!?
