Mountain Bike Kit List
I have a Schwinn mountain bike and i have a couple qeustions?
it has front shocks only,i replaced the rear brake cable cause i do believe some a s s hole cut it,i had the back wheel trued also when i took it down to have it fixed cause it was bent.Everything works great as far as the shifting with the twist shift.It probably has about 600 to 1000 miles on it.My question is,what should i take time and maintain? I basically have done nothing except oil the chain and what not + the stuff i listed above. I also want to buy this kit for it.Does these kits work good? Maybe you have one on yours.If so what’s it like? Thanks i do apologize for this long question.Thanks.

There is a list of things that should be done on a periodic basis to keep the bike in top shape.
Weekly or every 300 miles (whichever comes first)- clean chain and relube with silicone or paraffin based chain lube. Do NOT use motor oil/3 in 1 oil/WD40 types.
Monthly or every 500 miles (whichever comes first)- Loosen then retighten all quick releases and stem/handlebar bolts and crank bolts. Don’t just retighten an already tight bolt as you’ll eventually break the bolt or strip the threads- always loosen THEN tighten. Lube all pivot points- derailleurs, brakes, etc. Pull the seat post out, grease inside the seat tube (frame) and reinsert.
6 months or every 2000 miles (whichever comes first)- check and replace fork oil (if equipped), inspect and true wheels, deflate tires and reinflate, rebuild headset (clean/relube). Remove the pedals, lube the threads and reinstall. Always use white lithium grease when necessary, NOT typical car grease (your username noted).
Every year or every 3000 miles (whichever comes first)- overhaul hubs, headset, check bottom bracket and replace/rebuild, degrease, clean, and relube entire drivetrain, inspect cables. Do NOT lubricate inside cable housings as they usually have a teflon sleeve in them which softens on exposure to most lubes. If cables show wear or display increased friction replace cables and housings. Replace brake pads.
