Chain Maintenance

The best way to prolong the life of a chain is to clean and lube it regularly.

When riding on general road, at least each month or every 250 kilometers need to maintain. In cross-country road, then at least every 100 kilometers need to maintain.

Clean the chain is using a dry cloth to clean the chain and brush the dirt between the chain.

Assure the chain is dry, then lube each roller individually, keeping the lube away from the outside of the chain. When you've finished, wipe off any excess lube with a cloth after wet rides to avoid it rusting and seizing up.
