From Rust to Rush: How I Fixed My Bike Chain with WD-40

I noticed my bike chain was:

Making squeaky noises

Feeling heavy while pedaling

Covered in rust and dirt

I tried WD-40 Multi-Use Spray, and within a few simple steps, my bike chain looked almost new and rode like a dream. The spray worked as both a cleaner and a protector, making the ride smoother and quieter.

🔧 Step 1: Inspection
I closely checked my bike chain — it was rusty, dirty, and stiff. Perfect case for WD-40.

💨 Step 2: Spray Generously
I shook the can and sprayed WD-40 evenly across the entire chain, making sure to coat the inner links.

🧽 Step 3: Wipe Away Dirt
With a dry cloth, I wiped the chain thoroughly. The cloth was instantly black with old grease and dirt.

💨 Step 4: Second Coat
For stubborn rust spots, I sprayed again and rotated the pedals to spread it evenly.

🚴 Step 5: Test Ride
I took my bike for a spin, and the difference was unbelievable — smooth pedaling, no squeaks, and a much lighter ride.
