how long should my bike chain – If you are a cyclist, then you know how hard our chainrings work for us. Every time we pedal to make those strokes that propel the bike forward, the chain is constantly working at high tension. The chain is primarily an essential part of the bicycle’s drivetrain.

Understanding your bike chain

You have to know that they wear out over time. Since this is a mechanical part, you have to maintain them. Chains are 3 parts, namely the inner plate, the chain pin and the outer plate. The pin is responsible for attaching the inner and outer plates in place and forms a long chain.

In addition to the movement for forward and backward movement, it also has its side movements. This is also known as lateral movement. Lateral movement is necessary to change gears. After prolonged use, the chain will lengthen. With a higher stretch, its lateral movements also increase (affecting gear shifting).

How to extend the life of your chain

You must clean the bike chain regularly. Of course, it depends on where you ride your bike. In general, mountain bikers will need to clean their chain more often. Use a brush and water mixed with dish soap (or bio degreaser). Shift so that the chain wraps around the largest sprocket in the front (the sprocket with the most teeth). Place the brush on the bottom of the chain while pedaling backwards with your hand. Use a screwdriver for stubborn dirt.

However, you also need to make sure that the sprocket that the chain runs on is clean. Therefore, use a toothbrush to clean the sprocket teeth.

After cleaning the chain and sprocket teeth, always dry them with a cloth or cloth. This keeps moisture out. The chain and sprocket are in most cases made of steel. By preventing rust, you prevent moisture from escaping.

How and when should you lubricate the chain?

Lubrication is key. Lubrication can prevent rust and other dirt problems.

But only lubricate a clean chain. There is no point in lubricating a dirty chain. If you can’t afford a full clean, at least give it a quick wipe down before oiling. Experienced riders like to lube their chain one evening before going on a ride.

Place lube on the inside of the chain and back pedal slowly. Make sure every cylinder is lubricated. During the next morning, you should wipe off any excess from the outer sheets.

Generally you would want to get a wet lube. This is especially true if you need to use your bike for a very long time or in muddy conditions. As for dry lubes, they tend to flake off with use and don’t last as long as wet lubes. Dry lubricants are therefore only suitable for dusty environments. Dry lubricants and dust do not mix.

Learning about bike chains is very important.
