What's the easiest way to lube chain if you don't have bike stands? I just spray the lube on around the chain at the rear sprocket, roll the bike forward a little and spray on some more. I keep doing this until the whole of the chain has been lubed. I only takes a few minutes. Paddock stands would be easier though  |

Also wanted to ask. The bikes only done 200miles. So as you can imagine its nowhere near even dirty. Do I still have to clean and degrease the chain before lubing or can I just lube it straight away? |

Nah mate, I wouldn't bother cleaning it just yet. You'll know when it needs cleaning as the oil on the chain starts clumping together as it gets old and mixes with dirt and grime. Also...before you lube up your chain, take the bike for a little run around the block, as this'll warm the chain up a bit and allow the lube to get in all the nooks and crannies of the chain |

I know I get 50% off of doughnuts and 30% off shit like key rings etc. not sure about end of the day if you can take any because ain't asked that bit info know that they dispose of all doughnuts end of the day so I should think they would allow employees to take some home since they going in bin lol. Bought a dozen home yesterday was lush! Specially after a long day of fasting lol! |
