How do I lubricate the chain?

January 11, 2021 13:10

The chain should be regularly cleaned and lubricated. It is important to clean the chain first with a bicycle-specific degreaser and cloth. A degreaser can be purchased online or from many of our dealers. On bikes with a hub gear, the indicator gear should be lubricated where it exits the rear axle.

Start with a clean and dry chain. Apply a few drops of chain lubricant to each roller. Too much lubricant will attract dirt and cause the chain to wear faster. When oiling the chain, a little goes a long way.

Dry lube is for riding in dry weather.

Wet lube is for riding in wet or muddy conditions.

All-weather lube can be used in all conditions.
