A mountain bike needs maintenance at regular intervals. You should get your bike well lubricated with oil at least one day in advance before you take it for a long ride. If you lubed each and every part of the bikes wherever it is necessary, then you wouldn't have to worry for many days. However, the day when you realize that your bike has started causing you problem such as hard shifting of the gears, unwanted and irritating noise of chains and shockers, then it is definitely the time for you to lube your bike.
Here are the ways to lube your bike.
1. The Chain
You need to pour a great deal of mountain bike lubricant on the chain of your bike as you move the pedals. While you peddle the bike slowly, take a close at the chain to see whether the chain is still in working condition or has worn out and needs replacement with the new one.
2. Front Deraileur
Apply some mountain bike lubricant oil on the pivots first. Then move the shift lever and keep applying the lubricant oil wherever oiling is needed.
3. Rear Derailleur
Follow the same procedures as for the Front Deraileur
4. Pedals
If your bike as clipless pedals that often require lubrication, then you must apply lubricant oil this mechanism.
5. Bike in motion
After lubricating each and every part of your bike, pedal around your backyard of courtyard, shift gears up and down and make your bike jump around the place. If you could hear one or more squeak out of your bike, then look for the right place and apply the lubricant oil at once.
6. Wipe the bike properly
Once you have thoroughly checked after lubrication, you need to take a piece of cloth and wipe gently all the part of your bike.
