>>1010573I perform cleaning when the chain gets noisy.
That cleaning could be performed each 20~80 km depending on the kind of path biked (dusty gravel or asphalt).
>put wd40 on both derailleurs to clean the shit out of them>brush all chainring, chain, cassette and derailleurs with a kerosened paintbrush, removing hard shit with a piece of fabric>use pic related to clean chain with kerosene>remove kerosene and shit from chain and other transmission parts with fabric and wait until kerosene dries up by itself>lub chain with green epic ride without cleanning the lub excessOther parts of bike are less cared than this. I only clean the other parts of the bike when last rain of year pass out.
When i plan to bike on asphalt only, i use old-fucked-up-used engine oil to lub the chain, because is more viscous, it last longer on chain than green epic ride, it's cheaper and lubs well. Because its viscocity and stickiness, used motor oil is a way to stick dust and sand to your transmission and fuck it up, so i avoid riding offroad when lubbed with motor oil.
I use kerosene and wd40 to wipe the shit out of the frame often instead soap and water.
