No idea what does reverse mount means, can't picture it, i normally spray 3 times, 1 cycle in the middle, 1 cycle by the left, 1 cycle by the right. What about cleaning wise, every 500 as well ?

 

You can do away the spray to the center of the chain, it doesn't really helps to lubricate it.... like I said, if you wipe your chain with a rag after you oil it and before you ride the bike the next time, you do not really need to clean it....

 

Next time your sprockets need to change, have a good look at the teeth.... you will find that it is "slanted" to one side, this is because one side of the face has worn down, while the other side is as good as new.... the front sprocket will wear on the "front" face and the rear sprocket will wear on the "back" side... if the design of your bike allows, then you can remove the sprockets and mount it back inside out, and you literally have a brand new front and rear sprockets...

Going somewhere isn't why I ride... riding is why I go..

Think i roughly get it, I don't wipe after lube, i only wipe after spraying the cleaner, normally after lubing 3 cycles i will just let it be till the next day.

love your bike, don't use a fake or cheap O ring chain bro :)

 

Of course i love my bike, but i wasn't the one who picked the chains, it was the mechanic, unless they're are trying to carrot me ........... Which i don't think so cause I have been going to them for quite some time and the reviews are pretty good, even on this forum.

Wah never thought of inverting the sprocket. But what if it becomes sharper, doesn't that mean it's time for a change in sprocket?

The tip of each teeth of the sprocket should not be worn to a sharp edge, if it is.... then your chain tension is too loose and you are using a very worn out chain.... most of the time, once the chain makes a lot of noise, the chain has already worn.... you can save a bit by replacing with a new chain and reversing the sprocket...
