Development of a Permanent Bicycle Chain Maintenance and Cleaning Device

Abstract

This article aims to develop an innovative solution for the dirt accumulation challenges faced by long-distance cyclists in maintaining their bicycle chains clean and functional for longer periods. The methodology employed involved a detailed analysis of existing products on the market, identifying their strengths and weaknesses. This comparative analysis served as the basis for the development of an optimized product capable of withstanding adverse weather conditions, ensuring continuous lubrication, and preventing the accumulation of dirt. The results achieved demonstrate the feasibility of a solution that extends the lifespan of the chain, reduces the need for maintenance, and significantly improves the performance and safety of cyclists, allowing them to focus exclusively on their cycling experience.
