Chain Lubrication? No Sweat.. |
|
Now be honest - DO YOU lubricate your chain as often as you should? Manufacturers tell us to do it
every 200 miles, but let's face it, what a pain. Are you tired of wheeling your
bike
backwards and forwards to access the chain - well at last here's the answer to your prayers.
And what's more...
Well isn't that strange, we had a feeling that you might!
In the shots above we see that the Tommy Jack legs have been splayed apart and stood on the floor, while the pivot lever has been raised prior to the jack being positioned under the suspension arm.
Tommy Jack is lightening quick because it's lifting beam just slips under the bike's suspension arm. When the jack's pivot lever is swung down towards the ground - hey-presto - the rear wheel is airborne! A safety locking pin is inserted to complete the task in 2 seconds!
The rear wheel can then be spun to crank the chain round for lubricating. How simple would you like it to be? But please remember not to sit or climb on your bike in the raised position. Tommy Jack by Quasar Products Limited - Patent Pending
Bike Chain Facts:
That's right, run with a dry chain and you may as well step down from a 750 to a 600! Just think what you paid for that extra power! So get all your horses onto the road, not into the air via friction!
Why not lube it just before a run? Your chain spray contains a solvent and a lubricating agent. The solvent liquefies the high-viscosity lubricating agent to make it sprayable. It takes up to an hour for the solvent to evaporate, so use the bike within that time and the rotating chain will disperse the solvent and the lubricant all over your bike and your leathers! Why lube it just after a run? Because when the chain is warm the lubricant flows freely. Just leave the bike to stand and let the solvent dry, every link will be protected it in readiness for your next outing! Anyway, now that you have Tommy Jack there's no excuse not to lube your chain - is there? More power to your wheels - courtesy of Quasar Products.
