Necessary Tools and Supplies for Cleaning
Your Bicycle
Below are the basic tools and supplies
needed for your weekly and monthly tune-up. None of the items are very
expensive. The Chain Cleaner is probably the most expensive and will
cost around $25. But the initial investment will pay for itself within
the first month or two. Furthermore, the supplies will last a long time. I have had my
Chain Cleaner for almost 8 years now and it is still working fine! The
Tri-flow and bike grease will also last you years. The remaining
supplies can be found in any hardware/grocery/automotive store or around the home! |

1)
Chain Cleaner - This is a Park Chain Cleaner and can be
found in most cycling catalogs. There are other excellent
models on the market as well. It will be the most expensive
supply in which you will have to invest but it is well worth the
money for it will provide years of service.
2) Degreaser - Get a good degreaser. There are several
excellent degreasers on the market. Degreasers can be found at
auto parts shops as well as bike shops/catalogs. Get on that is biodegradable.
3) Waterproof Grease - I recommend a good waterproof
grease. I have Phil Woods for years. There are others on the
market.
4)5mm Hex Wrench - A 5mm Hex should fit the bolts we will
be referring to in this maintenance plan.
5)Teflon Spray - A good Teflon spray is necessary and can
be found at most bike shops.
6)Plastic container, old rags and a few old toothbrushes |
