00:00We all think we know how to lube a chain.
00:02It's really one of the most basic cycling fundamental maintenance pieces, but there's
00:07one part of it that a lot of us seemingly get wrong.
00:11The most common mistake I see people making is they put on lube right before they go out
00:16the door for a ride.
00:17Don't do that.
00:17Yeah.
00:18No.
00:18Don't do that.
00:19No, because you're going out there, you're going out on the road, the trail, whatnot.
00:23You're basically making your chain sticky and making a magnet for all that grit and
00:27rhyme and everything that is going to break down and wear out your chain and components.
00:32Yeah.
00:32The lube needs time to get where it needs to go.
00:36Yeah.
00:37Lube on the outside of your chain is doing nothing except attracting more dirt and the
00:42prices of cassettes these days, it's like you're spending, you know, cents on the mile.
