How in the hell do you keep your bike looking brand new with a gazillion miles on it :dunno:

My secret is cleaning/polishing her either before or after each ride. :thumbsup:

I'm curious what your secret is for chain maintenance? What is your cleaning and lubing routine? On average, how many miles do you get from a chain and sprockets?

Also, in regards to cleaning/polishing the bike... do you give it a bath, or just use a bottle of detail/polish?

Thanks for the motivation!

Please see below. That's the only thing I use. Nothing else. I lube it every 500 miles or so. If I remember it right, I get around maybe 30,000 miles on the chain and sprockets or close to it. I'm not an aggressive rider at all. I'm sure that helps a lot.:)

I don't give it a bath that often unless it's really filty. I just put warm water in a bucket and use micro fiber towel to wipe it down then polish with Pledge.

Here's the chain with a little over 2,000 miles on it. Sorry about the picture quality. I took it when it was cloudy early in the morning.
