Alma guide you compulsively wash your bike.

It is said that a clean machine does not do the job better. This logic does not apply for a bicycle.
Transfer does not behind labels and cases, as it is to hide, but are open to fluctuations in the environment and roads. must be clean and lubricated for life and long u2014% efficiency of the bicycle is a clean fast bike.

Bicycle chains
Start in the most moving of the chain. You do not have the luxury-brand detergent, parks or developments. Studies, but the chain are not in use to clean properly.

There is only one disadvantage of this solution, when the chain Shimano or Campagnolo, by chain Wippermann Sachs or replaced easier. These chains are easily removable master link, to remove the entire chain easily without too much difficulty allowed. In addition, these channels no expensive equipment to replace the chain of transmission.

Stainless Steel Chain Wippermann particularly pleased that the metal is corrosion resistant. This function has no objection to cleaning and lubrication. Ask your local bike shop for proper installation of the new channel. If the channel, and the fields are large enough, we need to replace the team.

When removing the bicycle chain, the chain in a bathtub full of butter and oil placed in self-cleaning. If the chain is extremely dirty, use a degreaser (like Simple Green) and a toothbrush, brush the dirt and the remains buried.

well after washing and drying, start enjoying a chain of self-cleaning lubricant. I want to shake up the string on a dry pan with butter, with a cloth. Clean it several times.

To do so dirty after every ride on the wet /, that the power to clean and is well lubricated. In addition, the leakage of grease prevented at the top. Clean the pan with butter later.

Cassettes
Drizzle with oil, brush teeth, clean thoroughly. Make sure all corners. I do not be diluted carrier tape and spray directly onto the can with bearings and grease. What degreaser soak for a minute or two. Thoroughly and be sure to not use too much water pressure.

Wheels
Clean the sponge wheel simply wash water and soap. Sponge, cleaning tires, rims and spokes and hubs. Let the cleaner bearing seal. Thoroughly proposed, with the same cleaning procedures in a box.  

So you need to clean up the dirt bike anywhere else that is cool and lubricated. If the front brake back up does not remove the front brake and clean surface of the fork is to operate the front brake.

Your cup of detergent and water to clean the bike down. This includes the volume bar as well. I'm not fat components on the bike at the end when you get the fat saddle and bar tape. Go to set the bearings and bottom bracket. In the phone is locked, you can clean the cups, so to avoid the hole and immediately with a clean cloth.

Rinse the bike at low pressure. Avoid using water bearing, but rinse glasses, when the foam region. Flush with the top down.

Dry the frame and components, with an old towel.

Retouch
After drying the motorcycle down on the structure of each chip color. There is also a good time for a more binding sites for cracks. Do not clean the bike hide the cracks in the structure.

If you see an image, there are two ways to exit.

If the chip is only gray: After cleaning, lint-free cloth and alcohol were shaken (the owner) with a paint (by the artist, manufacturer of bicycle parts cache, nail polish, or automatic), moderately thin layers. One of the three layers, what is needed. If necessary, use a clear coat, too.

If the chip on bare metal or other material if you rust, sand, visible in the chip to the shiny metal. Maybe the feathers around the painting, but the chip cycles are usually small. Clean the surface with alcohol first. With the primer mix is usually a floor. It dries quickly. Spread 1.3 layers of paint to touch, let it dry and colorless, if necessary.

Carbon fiber with a clear top-grain sand (400-600) sandpaper surface layer of feathers, which are coated clear and without problems. Clean the repair with alcohol or acetone. Then mix a small amount of transparent epoxy resin families in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Spread the mixture in the resin, which has just begun, and an old jacket with a pen, of course. It helps, but not quite, although the outside and to protect against UV rays.

Drain (overnight), or to be made keeping in other phases of the assembly of bicycles. I would just recommend sanding the cured epoxy (at least three days), the bravest and experienced fully.

Lubrication
Wet and dry lubricating oil filler-axle brakes to imagine, gears, levers, etc.  Cover the air intake of the horse, and just be sure to cover the excess of his holes clean. This framework should be kept clean if you clean up immediately.

Make lubricate all exposed wiring, even though they are stainless steel. This is to ensure that the cables are clean and rust free.

Rehabilitation
Install bicycle chain after cleaning. Remember, excess oil or grease from any surface that is kept clean.
If you change the sprocket drive, you need the threads of the screws in the chain. It is necessary to bolt from aluminum and steel at a time. Thin film of grease the screws, as mentioned above dealing with them do not have the aluminum chain wheel lock, but not a necessity.

A person who has transferred the bolts should be lubricated before installation. Wipe off excess fat from the surface after tightening.

Replace the wheel and admire his work .
