How often should I oil my chain and adjust it ? Every other ride or should it be done every ride or do you wait longer on adjustments and oil often every/every other ride ?

I see your running mudlites, therefore you probably see alot of mud and water, I would apply chain lube everytime you ride.

Check your chain adjustment every couple of rides, mine rarely needs much adjustment.

I wanted a trail tire that was tough so I went the mudlite's. I ride in varrying conditions on trails,so I do see a lot of mud and water even though I try to avoid best I can but you can't go around every bad spot,lol it'd be no fun. I ride a bunch of rocky rough trails that destroyed my stock tires quickly and then I kept having to plug the xcr's so I gave these a try great bite everywhere. Lil to much at times my cornering styles have changed some they slide then grip hard it takes sone getting used too. Thanks on the reply I'll have to start doiing it every ride I was doing it like once a month or after really muddy rides only but I can tell that wasn't enough so thought I'd ask.

Lube it every ride, check the slack everytime to, but you may not need to adjust it.
