don't use grease on the chain, you clean and then lube the chain w a bike chain lube
Yeah I've been learning that they now have special chain lube stuff and it'll be my bf that does it for me as he's trying to get it better ready to ride. I just called it "grease" as it was the first thing that came to mind...I know...so totaly old schoo! LOL!!! ^^ I kinda ment grease as lube..I knew what I ment in my head.. *giggles* But thanks for pointing that out anyway, I can still use the tips and stuff to help learn the proper terminology as I then won't come off sounding so stupid. *he he* Especially when I go into the bike shops asking for help with mantinance or something. *giggles*
