Now, I am working on the seat. I just took off the saddle and solid post. Hopefully, I can tighten it down harder.
Don't over oil the chain. Too much lube picks up grit which can cause wear. Very light lube and wipe off the excess. Clean from time to time with degreaser, then re lube with chain lube. I use Finish Line Dry in late spring and summer and Finish Line Wet in fall.
