CHAIN MAINTENANCE
Although the chain is one of the wearing components of your URBAN JUNGLE bike, there are still ways for you to prolong its life. Make sure the chain is lubricated regularly, especially after riding in the rain. Try to only use gears which run the chain in the straightest line between the sprockets and chainrings and get into the habit of high cadence pedalling.
Chains on bicycles with derailleur gears are worn out after approx. 1,000 to 3,500 km or 50 to 125 hours of use. Heavily stretched chains impair the operation of derailleur gears. Cycling with a worn-out chain also accelerates the wear of the sprockets and chainrings. Replacing these components is relatively expensive compared with the costs of a new chain. It is therefore advisable to check the condition of the chain at regular intervals.
Your URBAN JUNGLE dealer has accurate measuring instruments to check the chain wear (c). Replacing the chain should ideally be left to an expert, as this requires special tools. In addition, you need to select a chain matching your gear system (d+e).
WARNING
An improperly joined or heavily worn chain can break and cause an accident.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When replacing your chain, only use appropriate and suitable original spare parts (f). Your URBAN JUNGLE dealer will be pleased to help you.
