Quick answer: Keep the chain clean and lubed and your sprockets last far longer. Check chain slack monthly, and when the chain is worn, replace the chain and sprockets together — a new chain on old sprockets wears out fast.

The routine

• Lube every 500 km — how often to lube.
• Deep-clean every 1,000–1,500 km — how often to clean.
• Check slack monthly.

When to replace

See signs your chain needs replacing. Replace sprockets with the chain.

FAQ

Chain or sprocket first? They wear together — replace as a set for a smooth, quiet drivetrain.
