Lube Your Chain!

TAGS: None

A few tips for using Rock”N”Roll chain lubes:

  • Put the chain on the big ring, in the front, and the small cog, on the back.
  • Apply the lube on the chain, over the top of the cog. Let a nice flow (don’t be cheap) onto the chain, remember you’re going to clean and lube at the same time.
  • Freewheel the chain backwards, and wipe off all of the dirt and grit that has come up to the surface. Remember, you can’t wipe off the chain too much, so make that chain shine.
  • Shift the chain off the big ring, so you can wipe off the chain ring, to clean up the little bit of residue left behind.
  • For best results, allow your chain to sit a few hours, however, you can ride at once.
  • Allowing the lube a chance to fully set up gives the lube a bit more life.
  • Remember to wipe off your chain after riding regardless if you’re going to re-lube or not. This keeps the chain clean and looking great.
