When I seriously got back onto the bike this year I knew that I was going to need to find the basic tools and lubes to keep my ride working smoothly. A high maintenance spot is the drivetrain. The chain and care of the chain are very important to having a fun workout. A clogged sticky chain can hinder shifting, cause additional drag, and can be noisy. Cleaning a chain can often be a pain, doing so correctly means using solvents and a great deal of scrubbing, then cleaning up after cleaning up. My local shop Schwab Cycles hooked me on to Absolute Dry Chain Lube chain lube by Rock Lube.
