Keeping it clean: when you give your bike a good clean after a trip, it doesn’t just look a lot better – you’re also helping to keep it in peak condition. Bits of dust and dirt stick to your bike’s surfaces and technical parts every time you go for a ride, which can lead to malfunctions and cause lasting damage. For example, small particles of dirt can cause your brake and gear cables to stick if left to collect. The same also applies to derailleurs: these high-precision components need to be kept clean of contaminants of any kind. It’s especially important to clean your bicycle chain, which picks up the most dust, dirt and moisture due to how low it sits on your bike. This nasty little cocktail makes it harder to pedal, causes chain wear and interferes with gear shifting – and no one wants a dirty black “chain tattoo” on their calf, that’s for sure. Last but not least, there’s the frame: dried-on mud can leave scratches if it isn’t cleaned off properly. MOTOREX offers the right cleaning products for your bike – to help you avoid any sticky situations.
