Unlike city driving on tarmac, go cycling in nature will expose your pet much more severe service conditions. Dirt, dust, earth or mud almost inevitably arise and rarely will go back to driving a clean bike. Although danačnji XC bikes are built mainly of aluminum and stainless materials resistant to water and dirt, though xx8 some mechanical assemblies looking for regular maintenance and lubrication. Often the question that beginners ask is: how to clean a bike? Below we give a response with some nice tips regarding the maintenance of the bike and what better condition. Cleaning the bike can be divided into three phases: degreasing, cleaning and lubrication. The first phase involves xx8 degreasing driving elements bike and all the others where there has been an accumulation of grease and dirt that has stuck to it. Attached is a couple of pictures of a dirty chain, tapes and drives. Degreasing is best to use special funds that can be bought in almost every podavaonici bikes or varnish and paint.
Degreasing procedure is very simple and podrazmjeva applying xx8 small amounts of funds with a brush on the parts you are cleaning. This phase devote enough attention xx8 because cleanliness xx8 drive parts are very important for their lives and way of working. Degreasing chain is the most complicated part of this first phase. If you have not called. "Power link" xx8 link (link through which the chain can be dismantled without tools), xx8 then we recommend thoroughly cleaning an old toothbrush and a degreasing xx8 agent. And if you can disassemble the chain, then it is the best method to soak the chain in a closed container with the material, wherein the process repeats with a new clean with a degreasing agent, and up to several times. Note: when degreasing well, make sure that the oil does not reach the braking surfaces (rotors / brake pads and rim), as this may cause even completely cancel the brakes.
The second step is to wash. It would be nice to use shampoo for car (avoid detergents that are abrasive), hot water and the like, however, is usually removal of mud and dirt off the bike performed by washing in a nearby car wash. Indeed, the water pressure will effectively remove dirt from your bike. Of course, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that it is a high pressure jet and a bit away, especially from rubber and soft materials. What you should pay particular attention to whether the motion of the bike where there are ball bearings. Although closed circuits, it is possible to hunt down a jet of dust particles in the nabe (axles and trailing portion of the wheel) xx8 and drive (central to which are attached to the pedals). xx8 Most other parts can feel free to clean water. After washing, dry cloth bike. Select a lint-free cloth or not the rash.
For lubrication can use wax or oil. Wax gives bad effects in the rain and very cold weather, but lasts much longer. In contrast wax, oil shorter but does the job better lubrication. In order to facilitate the application of oils, try to obtain a smaller suction cups or plastic bottle like the kind they used to lubricate sewing machines. After you Apply the oil on the chain, we recommend that you delete the excess oil with a cloth.
Although there is no strict rule laid down, the chain would be good after every ride cleaned xx8 of mud. However, if you drive in dry weather without mud, washing is not necessary. Standard chain lubrication interval is every 100-150 kilometers. In addition to the chain and gears, xx8 it is useful to periodically lubricate Sifter (shifter / shift lever), transmissions, brakes where they attached to the frame, as well as all other circuits that move. Once the oil droplets is sufficient to eliminate the dull crunch.
