Avoid the use of steam, fuel, solvents, hard
brushes or other methods that could damage the O-
rings; also avoid direct contact with the acid
as it could cause mini cracks in the links as shown in
the figure.
In in case of use of the
bike, it is possible that excessive wear of the links
occurs due to the contact with the chain sliding shoe;
friction could in fact cause the chain to overheat,
altering the heat treatment of the links and making
them fragile.
