What oil does mountain bike maintenance need, and do mountain bikes generally need to be maintained?

1: In the parts that use the bearing structure, it is necessary to add bearing oil to the bearing, which is better for wet SKF, but it is not cheap.

2: The wet dot4 used in the hydraulic disc brake and oil brake system is long, and some are relatively special and require the brake fluid configured by the manufacturer itself.

3: If it is a part of the bead structure, butter is mostly used, this thing is very cheap, more than ten pieces can buy a large tube, but the traditional butter is more viscous. Now you can go to the car maintenance center and buy a better lube, **slightly more expensive.

This type of oil is viscous and is not suitable for chaining.

4: The chain part is more suitable for medium engine oil, such as Shell's lubricating oil. However, this kind of oil is very sticky, and dust is easy to adsorb on the oil, and the oil will appear black or even dry out after a long time.

One of the better ones is Wolf's bicycle maintenance oil, which dries quickly after use, and travels on the surface of the part to protect the mold without blackening. Wolf at last year's Shanghai Auto Show'S on the show, senior wolf'S nano oil can withstand 350N (it seems to be), while Shimano's green mineral oil can only withstand 3 5 weights. However, I personally think that it is not suitable to use ** tube these places, because it dries too quickly and feels bad.

5: The commonly used WD-40, commonly known as rust loosening agent, smells a little fragrant, and is often used for rust removal and line pipe lubrication. The disadvantage is that it dries quickly and does not have good protection. Yes as the first step of maintenance.

6.Shock oil. It is generally divided into two parts, one is the shock oil used to adjust the reaction, which can be purchased at the moto repair point.

Its function is to adjust the reaction speed of the shock absorber through the oil discharge speed of the oil hole. In general, the thicker the oil, the slower the fork will react. In addition, it is a lubricating oil for shock absorption, and generally bearings can be used, so SKF is recommended.

Regular maintenance is required.

Scrub frequently to keep it clean. By wiping, you can not only keep the bike clean and beautiful, but also help check the integrity of all parts of the bike.

The main aspects of maintenance are as follows:

1. Keep it clean.

Needless to say, keeping your mountain bike looking clean is something many bike lovers are happy to do. Your first and probably easiest task, and also a warm-up task, is to clean up the bike.

Before you get your hands dirty to clean your mountain bike, first find a place to flip it upside down, balance the seat and handlebars, and get ready with the tools we need: bike cleaning brushes, degreasing solvents, chain lubricants, towels, buckets, tap water and hoses.

Pay close attention to your car's drivetrain (bearings) and chain when washing your car, and spray some degreasing solvent on it if it has oil, rust or dirt. Wash the body of your mountain bike, but also make sure that the bottom bracket and wheels do not touch the water, otherwise it will cause rust. After each wash of the bike, dry it with a towel.

2. Apply lubricating oil.

Don't forget to lubricate your mountain bike regularly. So how to get the right number lubricating oil? Under-lubrication and over-lubrication can cause your mountain bike to be tougher to ride.

So how do you make a perfect lubrication? First of all, use a bike-specific lubricant (just buy it) that is neither too thin (it will dissolve too quickly) nor too thick (it will attract dust and dirt), squeeze from the top and bottom to each link, and slowly turn the pedal with one hand while squeezing the lube.

Generally speaking, a thin layer of lubricant is sufficient, unless you live in a place where there is a lot of rain, then applying a slightly thicker layer can reduce the number of maintenance. Then use a rag to remove the excess lubricating oil.

There's one more thing you need to be lubricated, and that's your mountain bike brake line. If rain or other water causes it to get into the cable housing, it will rust. Drop a few drops of lube into the skin.

If you notice that your brake cord is worn out, replace it. In addition, lubricating oil can be used for every part of the bicycle that can be rotated (bearings).

3. Check the bike.

Check your bike up and down for anything wrong and tighten loose bolts, including the crank arms and chainrings. Replace worn parts. (mountain bike pedals, tires, handlebars, etc.). Empty pedaling the bike and check the front and rear brakes.

1. To maintain a mountain bike is to clean up the mountain bike more often, and remove the rust and some stains on the ride.

2. When the bicycle is covered with sediment and the line pipe is also polluted, which affects the normal use of cherry blossoms, then it is necessary to take a "full body bath" for the bicycle.

3. It should be noted that there are many bearing parts in the bicycle, and these parts are very taboo for water immersion, so when cleaning, do not use high-pressure water flow in the skin bush, and be especially careful where there are bearings.
