How to Properly Lube Your Mountain Bike Chain for Optimal Performance
To lube a mountain bike chain, start by cleaning it thoroughly with a degreaser and a soft-bristled brush or sponge. Then, apply a small amount of bike lubricant to each roller in the chain while gradually turning the pedals backwards. After applying lubricant, allow it to settle for a few minutes before wiping off any excess with a clean rag. Remember to lubricate your chain frequently to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
