Hi.

Probably a silly question, but:-

Assuming a weekly mileage of around 40 miles, in decent weather and on roads and concrete cycle paths, how often would you clean and lube your chain?

Cheers

Andy

    if it feels gritty, clean and oil it, if not, don't.

    As above. If it's wet I lube the chain after each ride. If it's dry and sunny I can get around 100-150 miles out of one lubing.

    More often if the roads are wet and salted......
