Friend Ken G pointed out to me that I've been overlubricating my chain, and told me how to do it better. I checked it out, and at the next chain swap, I need to:
- Break down and clean the rear derailleur, including the pulley wheels;
- Break down and clean the cogset;
- Clean the chainrings and cranks;
- Clean the chainstay.
I've also developed a click in the cranks on each pedal revolution. This usually means I need to:
- Remove and re-grease the cranks;
- Re-torque the bottom bracket (I have the bidirectional torque wrench this requires);
- Re-torque the cranks.
And I wouldn't be surprised if I also need to
- Adjust the rear derailleur cable.
And I only post this here so I remember to do it. Thanks, Ken.
Gott im Himmel, but there's a lot of buildup on that rear derailleur!
