How often should I lubricate my chain?

The Powerlock link allows you to easily connect and disconnect the chain without the need for chain tools.

Use a chain cleaner and brush to remove dirt and grime. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly before lubricating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the correct chain length using your bike's largest chainring and cog. A general rule is to wrap the chain around the largest chainring and largest cog, bypassing the rear derailleur, and adding two links.
  2. Install the chain onto your cassette and chainrings.
  3. Use the Powerlock link to connect the chain ends. Ensure the link is properly seated.

Compatibility:

  • The SRAM PC-971 chain is compatible with 9-speed drivetrains only.
  • Ensure compatibility with your cassette, chainrings, and rear derailleur.

Care:

  • Regularly clean your chain with a chain cleaner and a brush to remove dirt and debris.
  • Apply chain lubricant to keep the chain running smoothly. Wipe off excess lubricant.
  • Inspect the chain for wear and tear, and replace it when necessary.
