How to Properly Lubricate Your Mountain Bike for Optimal Performance
To lubricate a mountain bike, first clean the chain and other drivetrain components using a degreaser and a brush. Then apply a lubricant to the chain while turning the pedals backwards. Be careful not to over-lubricate as this can attract dirt and grime. Wipe off any excess lubricant and allow it to set for a few minutes before riding. Repeat this process every few rides or as needed.
