Hi guys,

I did around 2k kms or 1k2 miles. I took pictures of the chain with my own maintence with chain cleaner lube and chain maintence lube. Do you guys see if the chain are with decent quality or not ?

You may want to think about a chain oiler. I bought one of those Nemo knock-off's from Amazon for $50. I'm loving that thing and now seeing why people rave about the automatic oilers.

When I clean and lube my chain I use a chain cleaner spray, then use a Grunge brush, then I use the Bel Ray chain lube.

The links do look a little dry. How often do you top up on the lube? I just use lube and occasional clean. Do get rust patches if don't stay on top of it during wet weather, but surface rust is easy to remove.

Chain looks a little dry to me, but it’s hard to tell for sure from pics.
The standard chain is only ok quality, and does rust easily on the side plates.
