How often should you service your chain?
It depends on the type of lubricant, but a good rule of thumb is, if you can hear the chain squeaking or grinding, you’ve gone too long. If it is squeaking, it is lacking lubricant or dry. If it is grinding, the lubricant has attracted sand or debris requiring it to be cleaned and relubricated.
Should I wear a helmet for mountain biking?
A helmet is the most important piece of protective gear because it prevents brain damage and even death. … All mountain bikers should wear helmets that fit properly and follow the MIPS rating. (MIPS – Multi-directional Impact Protection)
