The chain is one of the most important parts of a bicycle. It is constantly moving and rubbing against other parts of the bike, which can cause it to wear out quickly. Lubricating the chain helps to reduce friction and wear and can extend its life. https://youtu.be/2Xb2IKv__5E
Here are some of the benefits of lubing your bicycle chain:
✅ Reduces friction and wear
✅ Protects the chain from rust and corrosion
✅ Improves shifting performance
✅ Makes the chain quieter
✅ Prolongs the life of the chain and other drivetrain components
How often you need to lubricate your chain will depend on the conditions you ride in. If you ride in dry conditions, you may only need to lubricate your chain once a month. If you ride in wet or dusty conditions, you may need to lubricate your chain more often.
You will need a chain lubricant and a clean rag to lubricate your chain. Follow these steps:
✅ Clean the chain with a rag to remove any dirt or debris.
✅ Apply a light coat of lubricant to the chain (on the rollers, the center of the chain), making sure to get it into all the links.
✅ Allow the lubricant to soak in for a few minutes before wiping off any excess. (Follow directions on Lube Bottle)
Here are some tips for lubing your chain:
✅ Use a lubricant that is designed for bicycles.
✅ Apply the lubricant evenly to the chain.
✅ Wipe off any excess lubricant.
✅ Do not over-lubricate the chain, as this can attract dirt and debris.
By following these tips, you can help to keep your bicycle chain in good condition and extend its life.

My passion for bikes started when my parents opened a shop in the 1980s called Parker Bikes (we were located in Parker, Colorado). My love for cycling has continued since then, in my work and with my hobbies of road cycling and mountain biking. After my parents’ shop closed, I worked for other bike shops (including Lee’s Cyclery in Fort Collins), where I built and sold bikes, fixed and tuned up bikes, and managed inventory.
I love working on bikes and want to share my passion for cycling with others. So, next time you’re talking cycling with someone and wondering how to get started or where to go from here, you can think, “I know a guy!”
