Chain and Sprockets
St. Clairsville, OH
Service Description
Keeping you drive line clean and lubricated is like the fountain of youth on chains. There is good reason in us keeping a variety of Chain Cleaners and Lubes/Waxes in stock. Using a chain brush and cleaner should be as common as brushing your teeth. Every wash simply brush the chain, dry then apply your preferred lube/wax.
Adjusting your chain is simply a part of regular rider maintenance. Proper chain tension is vital to drive-component longevity and peak performance. A chain adjustment ensures your chain is not too tight, which puts strain on your wheel and drive shaft, or not too loose, causing unneeded wear to your sprocket and gear. The more loose it is, the faster it will stretch. Having to much sag causes the bike to jerk the links apart. After a while the chain may break or simply start skipping teeth, jumping off -locking your wheel up. All it takes is braking your rear axel and nut loose. Lift your bike so the rear wheel is off the ground, as you turn the chain adjuster nut The Rear wheel is pulled forward or slid back a minuet amount. To keep your drive line straight, try adjusting Dirt-bikes and Motorcycles right and left side of the wheel's tensioning nuts a quarter to half of a turn at a time. After you tighten the rear axle don't forget to make sure the double nuts are snug
Your chain and sprockets are constantly exposed to extreme conditions. Due to wear and tear, all chains and sprockets need to be replaced after some time. It’s always a good idea to replace your chains and sprockets at the same time. You’ll notice a difference in the way your vehicle runs, shifts, and sounds. While this is a vital part your ride, this is typically something we recommend while someone has their bike in the shop for oil a change and tune up.
We keep many almost every standard and O-ring size chain in stock. As well as, many Tools and Slack Gauges.
