Cleaning Methods for High-Strength Chains

Cleaning Methods for High-Strength Chains: Follow these steps during cleaning:
1. Clean your high-strength chain after each use, especially after riding in rain or humid conditions.
2. Use a dry cloth to wipe down the high-strength chain and its components. If necessary, use an old toothbrush to clean between chain links. Also remember to clean the front derailleur and rear derailleur pulleys.
3. Use a brush to remove accumulated mud and grime from the chain links. Warm soapy water may be used as needed.
4. Never use strong acidic or alkaline cleaners (such as rust removers), as these chemicals can damage or even break the chain.
5. Never clean high-strength chains using solvent-based chain cleaners, as this method will damage the chain.
6. Avoid using solvents like degreasers, which harm the environment and strip lubrication from bearings. Clean your high-strength chain after every ride, especially in rainy or humid conditions.
