To properly lube your bike chain for optimal performance and longevity, follow these steps:
- Clean the chain with a degreaser and a brush to remove dirt and old lubricant.
- Apply a small amount of bike chain lubricant to each link of the chain, focusing on the rollers.
- Use a clean rag to wipe off any excess lubricant.
- Allow the lubricant to dry before riding to prevent attracting dirt and debris.
- Repeat this process regularly, especially after riding in wet or dirty conditions, to keep your chain running smoothly and extend its lifespan.
