Well, it's going to be cold again this weekend, but I'm planning to go to Minami-Izu on Sunday to see the cherry blossoms, so I'm going to clean the chains.
I skipped work today and spent the day at home, so I took my cleaning supplies to the parking lot. Normally, I bring a short roller stand with me. It's very useful for this purpose........
I've introduced a new weapon.
This is what I received from Amazon.
I bought this because I thought it would be useful for quick chain cleaning without being as overly complicated as a maintenance stand. Maintenance roller.
In fact, a while ago, when I went to hang the maintenance stand, it wobbled a bit and I almost knocked the bike over....... Since then, cleaning the chain has been a bit of a chore."The ritual of carefully hanging the maintenance stand while getting into the swing of things."I tend to skip it because I need to .........
And it's super easy. Just leave it on the ground and ride on top of it with your bike.
Since the tires are on the ground, it takes some effort to turn the stand, unlike maintenance stands that can be floated completely.The front wheel can also be maintained by turning it around.
To get off the rollers, simply start the engine as usual and proceed halfway through the process, reducing the chain cleaning time to only about 10 minutes.
I'm sure this will help me clean my chain more often.........
Actually, I thought I'd try this one first, but ....... Amazon in Japan didn't carry it.......
