The string requires regular maintenance because it is d�un element with high friction and high stresses. (high accelerations, quick tension, friction with Gables...)
Voltage and detection of the hard points:
A too tense string will cause early wear rear shelf and the gable of output of box because it will lose its ability to absorb them shocks resulting from the acceleration, increasing the risk that it breaks. Too relaxed, it can jump and derailment shortly occur. Check periodically, 1 time per week or before each important trip, the tension of the ci.
The following system little troubleshoot you: put the index perpendicular to the string, the tip of the touching the top, then push of the other hand chain upward. Believed to be approximately (it is system, therefore, troubleshooting) that a deflection corresponding to a little more than the first phalanx is reasonable. (or 3 cm)
To detect the hard points, said failure, is the bike on the Central (or the crutch of workshop). Should then turn the rear wheel gently, while raising the chain periodically of the index. Rigidity must be to the same loan everywhere. If it encounters a much less flexible than other point, kit chain may break. (end of life this one here)
Lubricating/degreasing:
Is considered to be a lubrication of the chain all 500 kms. For the more manic or those who want to extend the life of their kit, it is recommended to do so after each exit in the rain. Lubrication is motorcycle on the Central, do turn the rear wheel in the direction of rotation, and spray with the bomb either on the rear sprocket to the inside of the string (on the upper side which leaves to the gable of output of box). Let Act a good half hour, preferably an hour.
Cleaning, to diesel fuel or a specialized product. The advantage of biodiesel is that it cleans while remaining sufficiently bold. Must be well rub, (a brush with tooth for the more inaccessible locations), and then rinse with clear water. There is no frequency to this exercise, each set when a string is dirty or not because fouling occurs differently according to the place of rolling. (n�attendez still not every 6 months).
