The frequency with which you should change your mountain bike chain depends on usage and wear. It is important to check chain wear regularly, using a special tool called the "Chain Wear Indicator Gauge" amzn.to/2IX8pl5
This tool indicates the degree of chain elongation, which is an indicator of wear. If the chain is stretched beyond the manufacturer's recommended limit, it can damage the teeth of the sprockets and chainrings, necessitating replacement of the entire drive train (sprockets, chainrings, crankset).
In general, it is advisable to replace the chain every 5,000 kilometres or every 12 months, whichever comes first.

It is also important to keep the chain clean and lubricated, as dirt and dust build-up can cause premature chain wear. If you notice increased resistance or noise when shifting, it may be time to replace the chain or perform a more thorough cleaning and lubrication.
ESI Grips
amzn.to/3Z4A34C
are a type of bicycle grips made of silicone, designed to provide a comfortable and secure grip while riding. They are made of high-quality silicone, which provides a soft-touch surface and a secure grip even in wet conditions.
ESI Grips are available in different sizes to fit different sizes of bicycle handlebars and are available in a variety of colours to suit individual rider preferences. Furthermore, thanks to their elasticity, ESI Grips can be easily installed and removed from the handlebar without the use of any tools.
ESI Grips are very popular among cyclists, especially those looking for an alternative to traditional rubber grips. They offer greater durability than rubber grips, are lighter and can be easily cleaned and maintained.
