Looks a bit dry Bob!

Just lubed it Pete. Motul chainlube for road bikes. Did it when I got back, so it can soak in overnight before I use the bike tomorrow.ย  ๐Ÿ˜‰

I can only dream of having a bike that clean. I'd be scared to have a gnat shit on it so that I'd have to clean it again.ย

It's only that clean because the dealership washed it when it was in for its service the other week! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

How would you know? Yours were eaten by wolves.

Chains are something that I'm very obsessive about......they always have to have the exact tension, be spotlessly clean, and well lubed!

This is mine at 23K kms/14.5K miles.......but it would be a lot better if I'd owned it from new.ย 

It's condition wasn't that bad when I got it......it's just that it was dirty and gummed up with wax! So it wasn't running as freely as it should have been.

Lot better now after repeated cleanings and regular use of Castrol Synthetic chain oil!

So let's see yours!ย 

I know @Tym's and @boboneleg's will be very good........but god knows what @Sir Fallsalot's will be like! Probably half a field embedded in it!ย :classic_laugh:

That rear wheel could do with a clean thoughย

Not mine, but a bike for sale locally. All maintenance up to date apparently! Hmmmmm?

Looks like the chain adjusters are at the end of their travel too! I was half tempted to ask for a test ride and then offer a derisory amount because the gear change is shit because "the gearbox is knackered!" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
