i understand this is a necessary task to maintain the condition of the bike, but what if i wash the bike after every trail use, how often should i degrease/lube then?

[velotique]

@JudoChoppethUrFace Ideally you should at least relube.

what do u think about paint thinner or mineral spirits to use as a degreaser?????? thanks for in advance for ur response

[velotique]

@chrospoke There are lots of solvents that desolve the grunge...however, you might want to use something less toxic--Saul

[velotique]

@mrbmxgod1 The chain cleaner relys on deraileur for chain tensioning. Saul
