For cleaning or replacing the cassette, reverse the process and tighten the lockring with a torque wrench to the manufacturer’s specifications.

It takes practice and proper technique to master this skill and use it effectively on the trail.

Installing a mountain bike chain involves first removing the old chain, sizing the new chain to fit your bike, and then routing it through the derailleur and around the chainring and cassette. Start by shifting the bike to the smallest chainring and rear cog, then use a chain tool to remove the old chain. Next, measure the length of the new chain and size it accordingly, making sure to leave a little extra slack. Thread the new chain through the derailleur and chainring, then use a quick link or master link to connect the ends of the chain. Finally, shift through all the gears to ensure the chain is properly seated and adjust the derailleur as needed.
