You should take care of your chain and drivetrain parts, no matter what kind of rider you are or what type of riding you do. If performance and efficiency are your thing, a well-maintained drivetrain will improve both. If getting the most miles out of your parts and saving money is your thing, a well-cared-for drivetrain can save you thousands of dollars over a neglected one. The kind of chain lube you use will certainly play a significant factor in getting the most out of a drivetrain.

This is the aluminium version of the carbon Valerian race bike; and it has a similarly speedy profile, with dropped seatstays and a carbon fork. Titan Racing are known for cramming value into their bikes, and the Sport model is no exception. It has a surprisingly good Microshift R10 drivetrain, Tektro mechanical disc brakes, and good-quality alloy wheels shod in Vittoria Zaffiro tyres that will give you many happy miles before you have to replace them.
