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.
