Dreaming of a bike polished like a dog's balls that will work better than a Swiss watch? Thanks to our range of service products and tools from Bikeworkx , Peaty's , Lezyne and Topeak , that dream can easily become a reality and in this article we'll tell you how!
Before you start lubricating and adjusting, you need to wash the whole bike thoroughly from dust and dirt and degrease the individual components. A bucket or water hose and a set of brushes are great for basic cleaning. To really get rid of all the dirt, we recommend a bike cleaner. Loamfoam Cleaner is a product for maintaining and cleaning mud and other dirt from your wheels.
It is applied with a spray bottle and thanks to the thick foam it draws dirt into itself even from the least accessible places. It cleans the whole bike quickly and gently. This product is also suitable for carbon frames. So first apply the cleaner and leave it on for a few minutes. Then rinse the whole bike again with water and clean with a brush. After rinsing, it is a good idea to wipe the whole bike with a cloth and dry it. Now that the bike is clean, we can start with the chain.
A clean and lubricated chain is the basis for a quiet and reliable ride, so you should give it sufficient and regular care.
The key is to degrease the chain from dried oil and dust. This is done with a universal degreaser that quickly removes grease, oil, dirt and brake fbrake luid. In addition to degreasing the chain, it's also great for degreasing the brake discs and cleaning the brakes. Rather forget about the WD40 here and put it back in your father's tool box. Special oils and lubricants are used to lubricate the chain to keep dust and dirt off, to displace moisture and protect against corrosion.
