It would be cool if you people explain also (in this kind of videos) what happens if you don't do this maintenance. I mean, like: "If you don`t oil your chain, the bike will make such noise..." or "If you don't clean the... the bike will..." etc.
He is just oiling the outside of the chain and some of the inside, the oil should penetrate the rollers, is he Amish?? he sure looks it with that beard.
NO!!! Never us WD-40 on bike chains. Chains move too fast for WD-40's lubricative properties to do anything. WD-40 will also strip the chain of any old grease on the chain so it's like using a completely unlubricated chain. Metal grinding against metal = BAD
@starsmash5 wouldnt use GT85 to lube it, it will strip it of lube and eventually dry up. GT85 is really good for cleaning the drivetrain before applying lube though.
Applying lube to a dirty chain and simply wiping it off does not clean the chain at all! The additional lubricant actually carries dirt deeper into the bearing surfaces on the chain plates and rollers.
I like the chain cleaning machines..those things really get it good...but, do circulate degreaser around the whole drive train which some people don't like..
just throwing this out there, i got a bike in 1994, i have not done anything to it, and it sill works prefectly same tyres, same brakes, same chain never been lubed or cleaned.
my friend bought a road bike last year, and he has had so many problems with it, buckled a rim, snapped a chain, replaced both tyres and pads and discs.
I know a few people with older 90s bikes and they have had no problems with them at all, why are new bikes so maintainence needy , is because they are made in china ?
true but not the made in china makes like dmr ,scott are made in home countries, but older bikes last for ever iv asked lots of people about there old bangers andthey say they have only had to fix punctures and small stuff .
I can see what your saying but you are really over exadurating, i done the math and your bike has covered roughly 11,740miles in its life and not one part has been changed?
My own "Stage One" would be, to take a completely dry soft rag and pull the chain through the rag for a minute, gripping the chain through the rag as I pull the chain along, to take all the old oil, lube and dirt off the chain onto the dry rag. (i.e. I would clean off all the old stuff before applying the new. There's no point in mixing clean lube with the mess of oil/lube/dirt/grime already on the chain. Better to take the old off first.)

Capitalism. They're made to break so you have to buy parts from the manufacturer, thus more net profit.
It could very well be the components on the road bike itself though.

theonewhoiscalledbre 2 years ago
i ride it nearly every day, at least 5 days every week , about 15 or so miles a week, he doesnt ride to work on his, so it gets used less.
i agree with hungrybanana, that they are made to be less reliable so they get more profit, im keeping hold of my bike for many more years to come

No, because the producers make the bikes more brakeable so they will come back and buy more bikes.

this guy should lube his ass to get it ready to be plowed once a week depending on how much he gets plowed.

you clean you're chain with degreaser or bike cleaner such as mucoff and then dry the chain. Once you have dried the chain lube it

I would have called all of that "Stage Two".
