here's how i have been cleaning and maintaining my drivetrains.have not had any issues.
1) -use a chain cleaner/scrubber with a citrus or bio-degradable degreaser solution ie holy cow or simple green. i use holy cow. -shift the gears to the middle for both the cog and crank and spin away in both directions with the chain cleaner. -place a brush with hard brittles at your rear cog and spin away -repeat the process with fresh solution. 2) rinse the drivetrain clean with water and dab dry it with some old rag/socks that are absorbant. do a couple of bunny hops to displace the water 3) spray RP7 onto the chain while spinning your crank to get the solution onto all links. use an old rag to wipe of access. you may see black stains and these are from the rollers. repeat step 1 if its a sight for sore eyes 4) lube just right before every ride. finishline dry lube and epic clean ride works best for me even for muddy and wet conditions. i'd stay away from finishline wet lube coz it just attracts too much crap.the worst lube i had tried. best of all....it doesn't cost me a bomb This post has been edited by snapshots: Nov 30 2011, 11:05 PM |

Degrease the chain and gear with a degreaser (I use a citrus-based degreaser, any brand should do), coat my chain with a thin layer of WD-40 to displace any moisture, rinse the chain thoroughly with soap, lubricate the chain (I use Finish Line's Dry Lube). As for my forks and rear shocks, I lubricate my fork stanchions with silicone spray (don't use normal lube as it may crack your rubber seals!). Just my 2 cents! U ride mountain bike on road... Sure u need to clean ur chain ah?This post has been edited by timothyy: Dec 1 2011, 11:10 PM |
