⚠ Note: Be sure not to get water into any electronic components. Do not directly spray water onto the bike.
Cleaning the Bike Chain

-
Hold the cloth against the lower section of the chain, between the pedals and derailleur.
-
Holding the rag in place, turn the pedals of the bike backward, moving the chain across the rag.

Allow the chain to dry completely before continuing with chain maintenance.
-
After the chain has dried completely, apply bike chain lubricant as per the instructions from the lubricant manufacturer.
⚠ Note: If using a spray lubricant do not spray in the direction of any other bike components, especially any braking hardware. -
Prop up the bike so the rear wheel is off the ground, i.e. prop up the kickstand or use a bike stand or have someone help hold the bike for this step.
-
With the bike propped up, turn the pedals and shift up and down through all the gears.
-
Use a clean cloth rag to wipe off excess lubricant from the chain, especially the outer faces of the chain.
-
Use a clean cloth to dry the bike before storing it.
