Taiwan Bikepacking Trip Day 7: Train to Dawu, Ride to Hengchun

We decided to jump on a local fast train from Taitung to Dawu and then rode our way to our southern most destination on this trip. Tomorrow we head north, keeping a keen eye on this Typhoon forming off the coast

This week's we are focusing on chains. Chains are arguably the most important part of a bikes drivetrain as they interact with the crank, cassette and derailleurs. There are a lot of chain lubricants on the market but as a general rule, I use the recommendations from Australian company . Check out their l**e testing at https://zerofrictioncycling.com.au/l**etesting/
Checking chain wear and condition and application of chain l**e is part of my pre ride check and I suggest to make it part of yours.
