With a clean chain and drivetrain, your shifting will be smoother and your bike will work better. Here's how to do it. Subscribe to GMBN: http://gmbn.eu/subscribe Get exclusive GMBN gear in the GMBN store! http://gmbn.eu/f3 A black, gritty, dirty chain looks bad, will wear out more quickly and doesn't work as well. Depending how often you ride, cleaning the chain on your mountain bike might be a weekly job – or even more regular. It's worth doing this job thoroughly – using good degreaser, chain brushes, rinsing your bike chain thoroughly and then drying it with a rag. Once your drivetrain is clean and dry, apply the right chain lube. Depending on the weather, this might be wet lube or dry chain lube. The clue with chain lube is in the name – wet, grimy winter weather = wet lube, dry, dusty weather = dry lube.

-
Nice to see Scotty rocking flat pedals for the winter! :)
-
I have a bent chain :c
-
For my chain I use a chain cleaner and brush for the drivetrain. Tried brush for the chain before but a chain cleaner definitely cleans it better and more efficient plus it's cheap so why not right? I just use a dishwashing liquid soap by the way. 😃
-
#askgmbn silly question, why lube the top/outside of the chain, instead of the bottom/inside of the chain? Is it expected that gravity will help lube the rollers and plates or is it just convenience and it doesn't matter? Thanks and keep up the excellent videos!

what is the best chain lube to use in the dry
-
The thing it doesn't show which I have trouble with is cleaning the back side of the derailleur/jockey wheels and chain ring, always really difficult to try and get brushes in from the other side. To clean the chain I use a chain cleaning tool, much less mess and does a great job.
-
what are those hubs?
-
Perfect cleaning job guys. Nice video.
-
Can you do a video to show us how to service break cables and shifter cables? Not everyone has hydraulic set ups, it would be nice to see this vid. (y)

Ultrasonic parts cleaner. Nothing gets a chain cleaner, I use to use a muck-off chain cleaner but it never gets right into the chain and removes the fine filth.
-
Great video! However, using water only works just as well - just be sure to use a good brush to remove the dirt. If done correctly, the chain will spin very smoothly after cleaning with only water!
-
Always after I clean my drivetrain (spray with deagreaser, brush off, use Muc-Off X3 chain cleaning device, spray off, use WD40 to remove moisture, lube, wipe off) I still can hear dirt between the links. The sound does go away after a few miles though. Is this normal or should i clean my chain better?
