Enjoy a long ride, effortlessly, with easy and precise operation of all mechanisms – this is what every cyclist strives for. As perfect as the bike is, this cannot be achieved without systematic cleaning and lubrication of its components.

The modern market in particular offers a wide range of products that simplify the process of bicycle care and extend its service life. Lubricating certain parts of the bike is a must for every bike owner.

When the lubrication is not performed, the rust starts to get formed right on the metal elements of the bike, which then results or gives a serious corrosion center; the working surfaces of the components are erased and quickly deteriorate; non-lubricated mechanisms stop working correctly, emit unpleasant sounds, jam and collapse.

The Action of Technical Lubricants is As Follows:

• Reduction of friction and prevention of premature wear of parts;
• Protection of metal surfaces from the adverse effects of water and dirt;
• Coating the surface of iron components with an oil film that prevents oxidation processes;
• Improving the accuracy of the speed switches and brakes.

Using cleansing sprays is the easiest and most effective way to get rid of deep and old dirt. They effectively soften rust, liquefy dried grease, and displace all dirt out of gaps and other hard-to-reach places.

Before greasing or lubricating the chain, we also recommend degreasing it well, since only with water we will not be able to remove the most encrusted dirt.

This step is important, we must use a good lubricant, a specific one for chains if possible. It should be easy to apply and if it protects the chain from moisture, rust and corrosion much better.

A product in spray format with which to lubricate the bike chain will be something very simple and comfortable. In addition, it repels moisture and protects the chain. Finally, we can use it in any weather condition.

To apply the lubricant correctly we must have the bike well supported, either in its normal form or face down. We begin to apply the product that we have chosen and we move the pedals little by little to apply it over the entire chain and sprockets.

Without a doubt, going out on the road, enjoying the fresh air and putting all our energy into pedaling is one of the best sensations for an athlete. But to leave the route, whether by road or field, we must take into account some previous and, during it, important aspects:

Plan the route in advance: take into account the round trip, how many kilometers you want to do, unevenness and if you want to make a stop, be prepared where to do it.

Maintain the bike: or at least check that all the components, especially the chain or the brakes, are in perfect condition.
