BICYCLE CHAIN
Regular and correct lubrication of your bicycle chain ensures enjoyable riding and prolongs its service life. It is not the quantity but the distribution and regular application of lubricant that counts. Clean the dirt and oil off your chain with a slightly oily rag from time to time (a). Special degreasers are not necessary; they even have a damaging effect.
Having cleaned the chain as thoroughly as possible, apply chain oil, wax or grease to the chain links (b). To lubricate the chain, drip the lubricant onto the rollers of the lower run of the chain while you turn the crank. Once this is done, turn the cranks a few more times; then let your URBAN JUNGLE bike rest for a few minutes so that the lubricant can disperse. Finally wipe off excess lubricant with a rag so that it does not spatter around during riding or can collect road dirt.
WARNING
Make sure the braking surfaces of the rims, the rotors and the brake pads remain clear of lubricants, otherwise the brake can fail!
NOTICE
For the sake of the environment, use biodegradable lubricants only. Bear in mind that some of the lubricant can end up on the ground, especially in wet conditions.
