The chain of a bicycle is the element to transmit the movement of the pedals to the rear wheel to produce the progress of the bicycle.
When the bicycle produces a squeaky to move, means that the chain is not in good condition, perhaps lack fat, is dirty or damaged. This, in turn harms the gears and own chain. To solve purify chain and the gears, prolonging the life of our bicycle.
To make the task need degreaser, oil, rags and worn or kitchen towels, latex gloves, a special brush or a piece of large wire.
Procedure to clean and lubricate the chain:
In the first place up space to make the cleaning placing some newspapers or nylon on the ground, to avoid spots.
We Will Do the cleaning with chain placing on its website. First eliminated the powder and fat old, since it is constantly entering the chain because of the fat becoming real wet. This is done with a degreasing which is responsible for soften and eliminate the fat, which usually occurs in spray. We apply to the chain, dishes and the sprocket directly, in a thin layer.
Let the product serving the time, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Before cleaning does not put the gloves and rub the chain with a cloth. If you do not get a cloth appropriate, we can also use kitchen towels. If we are the remains of dirt, then repeat the implementation of the same way. The chain should be shiny, like the dishes and pine. In the locations of difficult access use a special brush or large wire covered with cloth.
When we have everything clean, apply a thin layer of fat or oil to each element. In the sprocket applies the oil on the axis, thus the teeth receive the fat of the chain. In the dishes greased the axis and not the dishes.
In the chain apply the grease or oil on each link, without forgetting none, as it would be without protection and would receive greater damage. For fat to be distributed evenly, we will give several laps to rear wheel, in this way the oil flow to all the elements of the bicycle evenly.
