How to properly lube a mountain bike for a smooth ride
To lube a mountain bike, first, clean the chain and drivetrain with a degreaser and brush. Wipe it dry with a rag. Next, apply lubricant to the chain while slowly turning the pedals. Be sure to only use lubricant specifically designed for bike chains. Let the lubricant soak in for a few minutes before wiping off any excess. Repeat this process once a month or after encountering wet or muddy terrain.
