Hoffman bicycle day take a trip shirt

The Hoffman bicycle day take a trip shirt process implied using a small metal container, a little pot or a can cut in half, in which you put a large dollop of grease and then put on the cooker fire to heat so that the grease would melt. At this point, you coiled the previously cleaned chain into the pot and turned off the fire. The molten grease would penetrate the rollers and then solidify within them providing lubrication between rollers and pins. Trouble is that all the remaining grease would solidify around the chain and you had to clean it thoroughly to avoid bits of grease from flinging out as the chain passed on the chairing and sprockets, and sticking to anything they found on their trajectory. You could avoid this part of the process if your bike had a fully-enclosed chain.

The Hoffman bicycle day take a trip shirt frequency at which you would need to repeat this process depending on the use you did of the bike and the weather you encountered. Tough use and rain meant a monthly cleaning and greasing. Easy use and fair weather allowed you to repeat this process once or twice a year. If you do grease it, it’ll get covered in dirt (which sticks to grease). Remove links as necessary to get the size right (a few links longer than necessary to get from big-to-big gears is usually about right (not that you’ll ever intentionally use that arrangement, but sometimes you just end up there anyway!). When a quality bicycle chain is brand new it comes from the factory with a unique type of lubricant and preservative that is really good. No one outside of the chain manufactures know that compound and it might even be toxic for all I know. But it is good for at least 100 road miles. It gets gritty after many miles and the chain must be re-lubed before it builds up too much dirt. I use ProLink chain lube after that. It has a built-in cleaner. The way to apply it is actually quite simple. Simply apply the lube directly on the chain while it sits on the rear middle sprocket (cassette or freewheel) and turn the pedals backward until all of the links are wet with lube. Then take a clean rag and wipe off excess while again turning pedals backward. The chain should feel clean – not gritty. It should have a slippery feel to it and not too wet.
