The recommended way to clean the chain:
Hot soapy water, hand sanitizer, take a discarded toothbrush or a slightly harder brush. Wash it directly with water. The cleaning effect is not very good, and it needs to be dried after cleaning, otherwise it will rust.
Special chain cleaning agent is generally imported products, the cleaning effect is good, and the lubrication effect is also very good. The professional car shop has sales, but the price is relatively expensive, Taobao is also available for sale, and the economic base is better. consider.
Metal powder, find a larger container, take a spoonful of boiled water, remove the chain, and put it in the water and clean it with a hard brush.
Advantages: It is very easy to clean the oil on the chain, and generally does not clean the butter in the inner ring, it is not irritating, and it does not hurt the hand. This thing is commonly used by the masters who do mechanical work. It is very safe to wash your hands. Larger hardware stores can buy.
Disadvantages: Since the auxiliary is water, the chain must be dried or dried after cleaning. It takes a long time.
It is a common cleaning method for me to clean the chain with metal powder. I personally feel that it is better to use it. I recommend it to all the riders. If any rider has any objection to this cleaning method, you can make a wide opinion. It is recommended to install a magic buckle for the riders who need to take off the chain frequently, saving time and effort.
Lubrication of the chain
After cleaning, wiping, or cleaning the chain with solvent, be sure to add lubricant and ensure that the chain is dry before adding lubricant. First, the lubricating oil is infiltrated into the chain bearing part, and then it becomes viscous or dry. This will reliably lubricate the parts of the chain that are easily worn (two joints on both sides). Good lubricants, which start to feel like water, are easy to penetrate, but over time they become sticky or dry, which can last a long time.
After lubricating the oil, use a dry cloth to wipe off excess oil on the chain to avoid dirt and dust. Before reinstalling the chain, remember to clean the links to each other to ensure that no dirt remains. After the chain is cleaned, it is necessary to put some lubricant on the inside and outside of the shaft after assembling the magic deduction.
