Afiq learns how to clean bikes

This Saturday's ride was put off due to wet weather but we had a classroom session on the different types of bikes and riding styles in Jurong East Library. You can find the resources from Shimano here. MTB 101, Road Biking 101 ,Comfort Biking 1o1.

Anyway, Afiq and Jian Wei joined us on bike cleaning.


Tools of the trade.

Afiq learning about wheel dynamics.

Cassette breaker tool. Used to remove the rear gears of the bicycle.

You insert the cassette breaker into the lock-ring of the cassette.

Using a chain whip and wrench, you twist open the lock ring and free the cassette for washing.

Shimano 9 speed XT 11/32T cassette.

Scbubbing the lock ring with degreaser.

More cogs....

Front of the cassette stack.
Washing the back of the stack.

Nice and clean. Cleaning your cassette and drive train ensures that the parts of your bike do not wear out so easily.


Next up is the chain , rear derailler cage , jockey and centuron pulleys.
Notice the link at the bottom? That is a SRAM power link.

More clean parts to add to the repertoir!

Jeremy degreasing his drive-train with the help of Jian Wei.

Washing with clear water. Rinsing off the muck and dirt.

Drying the chain before re-lubing it again.
Great Work Jeremy !

Great initiative and help Jian Wei!!!

All done . Spotlessly clean!
Very responsible of you!

Alan, with his fractured wrist in a cast. Had a minor accident while riding. That's why safety gear is mandatory in riding. Take care Alan.

All in all, everybody did something that day and learnt useful skills. Even Alan contributed by taking pictures for the blog. Well Done Alan!!!


Till next time,
