🧼 Save Your Chain, Save Your Life 🛠️💥

🛞 When I learned the hard way about chain neglect...

There I was, hammering down some no-name highway in New Mexico, when my rear tire decided it wanted to square dance. Damn near laid it down at 65mph — all because my chain was gunked up like a drunk toddler's face at a pie-eating contest.
After that? I became religious about chain cleaning. 🏍️⛪ Let me save you from the "Jesus, take the wheel" moment.

💥 What happens when you ignore your chain (spoiler: it ain’t good)

Chains aren’t just pretty decorations — they’re the only thing standing between you and a high-speed dirt nap.
A greasy, neglected chain will:

• Heat up like hell 🔥

• Wear down to nothing 👎

• Snap when you least expect it 🪓
  Keep pushing your luck and you’ll be shopping for new underwear and a new face.

🏴 How to clean your chain without screwing it all up

• Spin the tire slow while spraying degreaser — not like a cracked-out hamster.

• Let the cleaner marinate a minute. Trust the process. ⏳

• Scrub every link like it owes you money.

• Wipe the chain dry — don’t soak your floor like an amateur.

• Re-lube it proper — no dry rubs allowed.

🤘 Pro tip for the real riders

If you can hear your chain squealing over your pipes, you ain't just late — you're damn near dead. 🛠️
Clean and lube that bastard every 500–700 miles... or every time you ride through rain, salt, or stupidity.
