Lube the chain and crank is the important part, the bike can take a bit of mud for sure!Skipperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09613904597454436439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216230446773139620.post-83064247038934896282009-07-19T13:36:22.724+01:002009-07-19T13:36:22.724+01:00What for?

I must admit I´m not as careful as you (because I almost never take the wheels or anything else for that matter) but I never had problems though. What I usually take a little longer to clean the chain to enlarge it`s life.Funridehttp://mdebikes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
