Hello Guys!
Nice to find this forum which for sure help all of us who ride China bikes!
While everything seems easy to find in China, what do you guys use to maintain your bike after riding it off road?
I am finding very difficult to find a decent solvent to clean the bike after riding, as well a good chain lube.
Would you guys share which solvents and lubes do you use for the basic maintenance on your bikes?
Thanks for all!

somehow I see a sales pitch coming soon flogging the worlds best bike cleaner and chain lube but i'll bite... nuff' said....
almost every chain lube and bike cleaner is available in China, just check well know bike shops or China's favorite website called Taobao.... http://www.taobao.com
my personal preference = S100 (bike cleaner) and Motul / Bel-Ray chain lube but lets not start a discussion on what brand is best as opinions on oils - cleaner - lubes are like a-holes - everyone has one.....
Hi TB,
Appreciate your tips!
Do you know any other name for that S100 bike cleaner? Cannot find it on taobao :icon10:
Will try Motul chain lube, hoping to dont get a knock off one!!
Tks
www.google.com is your friend: http://www.s100.comQuote:

For chain i do same as I was doing with my MZ when i was 16. One thick texture to pull over the chain and clean it. And an old toothbrush and engine or gear oil to lube it.
(basically the MZ had this covering rubber tubes, but that was grandpa style and so i removed them)
