RE: Bicycle maintenance day! Cleaning my bicycle and replacing my back tire

A wow that cleaning needed to be done for sure! Good idea to buy tires (and also inner tubes) in advance, how many kilometers you think you did with the tire?
I only totally cleaned my bike once until now 😁 but that's because the weather is still good most of the times. When cleaning and degreasing, I switched to wax dry lube and I'm pretty happy with it because wax attracts a lot less dirt than oil, of course when conditions get wet in a couple of weeks / months I need to change to oil.
So far, my chain is still shiny but I'm 'only' at 780 total kilometers so far, after each ride I run the chain trough an old cloth to remove any excess wax and possible dirt if there is any.

I really don't know. I usually switch the back and front, but that was no option this time.
Maybe I should consider wax too, but I'm using it for commuting too and it sometimes can be wet.
Cleaning the key after each ride is a good idea. Maybe I should do that too!
