Re: How often do you lube the chain?
every 200 miles or so with PJ1
Chain is always spotless and kept clean by wiping it at same time as applying pj1

Re: How often do you lube the chain?
I try to clean and lube at least once a fortnight / every 300 miles.
Use Wurth Brake & Chain cleaner and then Wurth High Performance chain lube. |
