Why should you maintain your bike?
Maintaining your bike will let you:
- Extend the life of the various components
- Ensure that it works properly

How to look after your bike:
To ensure full maintenance, we recommend that you follow these 3 steps: 01 degrease your drive train
02 clean your bike
03 lubricate your chain
Kit contents:
This kit contains the 3 products needed to carry out the 3 steps required to maintain your bike properly. You will be able to carry out at least 3 full services on your bike.
Products included in the kit:
01 Plant-based degreaser (100 ml)
02 Concentrated bike cleaner (100 ml)
03 All-weather chain lubricant (50 ml)
How to use the drive train degreaser:
This degreaser lets you effectively degrease your drive train. You can apply it using a brush or our chain cleaner.
Application with a brush: pour about 25 ml into a pot and apply generously to your chain, cassette, derailleurs and derailleur pulleys. Leave for a few moments then move on to step 2.
Application with the chain cleaner: pour on about 9 ml, turn the pedals a few times before moving on to step 2.
How to use the concentrated bike cleaner:
Pour about 30 ml of concentrate into a bucket of water then apply generously with a sponge to the whole bike.
The product will not damage the paint or any other components of the bike.
Rinse with clean water then dry your bike. Pay particular attention to drying, especially your drive train, to ensure total efficiency later on. Now you can move on to step 3.
How to use your chain lubricant:
Remove the cap, position the applicator on the lower part of the chain (inner side) and make a full turn (in the opposite direction to pedalling).
To make sure you don't apply too much, use your quick-release as a guide.
Remove the excess lubricant with a cloth placed under the chain, then make 2 or 3 complete turns of the pedal (in the opposite direction).
The lubricant will protect your chain in all riding conditions.
Remember:
01 Degrease your drive train: if you're applying the product with a brush, be careful not to project the dirt towards you.
02 Concentrated bike cleaner: in winter, opt for warm water to provide greater comfort during this step and the opposite in the summer.
03 Chain lubricant: apply on the inside of the chain, position the applicator on the lower part of the chain.
Maintenance advice:
Remember to degrease your chain before greasing it in order to remove any residue that could make abrasive contact with your drive train. This will help your equipment last longer and save you money.
