About this deal

The Tru-Tension Tungsten lubricants are the world first cycle lubricants of their kind. Revolutionising lubrication in the cycling industry through faster, harder wearing lubrication for any weather. Up to 40% faster than standard Ceramic and Teflon based lubricants, our lubricants are the perfect selection for riders looking for a smoother ride and improved efficiency.

I also like to square off my fabric by making sure the cut line is perpendicular. This will ensure that the cut of my fabric is straight. 1. Measure Your Fabric and Elastic So for my 11 x 11 frame I would cut two length of elastic that measure 24 inches Dimensions for Q-snap sizes / combinations (all sizes in inches) It is best practice to keep your fabric as clean as possible during the stitching process. Use Your Grime Guard as a Needle Holder The width required will be the same for all the options above - the width needs to be enough to go around the tube, hold excess fabric and also allow for the hem on either side where the elastic is sewn into the loop. I estimated that the cover that I had previously bought was just over 4 inches so I am going to use 8 inchesLubricate chain and wipe off any excess – for best results, use Tru-Tension Chain Lube or Chain Wax The width of fabric is mostly personal preference. This number depends on if you want to be able to stuff a lot of fabric under your grime guard. I recommend the width being 5.5-6 inches. Again, this number will change according to your liking. As you can see starting with a wider piece of fabric allows much more room within the guard to contain all the excess fabric while you stitch Now you sew close the edge so that you are sewing through the smaller enclosed fold to secure that and also leave enough room to thread your elastic through. Sew around the circle but DO NOT completely close the loop, leave about 2cm gap in your stitches - this is where you will thread the elastic into the guard

Folding twice conceals the raw edge of the fabric. It will appear a little neater as well as you won’t have to deal with the frayed fabric. 3. Create the Casing for the Elastic Let’s say I am using an 8 inch hoop. 8 is my diameter. Multiply 8 x 𝛑 ≈ 25.13. Then add 2” for seam allowance. I am just going to round my number to 27 inches of fabric. Now you need to create a hem on either side that is wide enough for you to thread the elastic through later. Fold a small hem over followed by a larger one (about 1 cm) and iron these flat. Having the additional fold inside your hem will prevent fraying of the fabric over time as you are using the guard. You can then pin the two hems in place while you sew. NOTE: always place your pins at a 90 degree angle to the direction in which you will be sewing so that they are easy to remove later and also prevents damage to the machine needle. I will be using an 11”x11” q-snap for this example. The strip of fabric should measure 46”x6”. I happened to have a yard and a half of fabric so I was able to cut one strip.

I will be using my 20” EZ Stitch scroll rods as an example. The reason I mention this brand is because the scroll rods are thinner at ⅝”. Therefore, you may want to not have as much fabric width.

Moto Grime Guard protects important braking surfaces such as brake discs, calipers, brake pads and tyres from becoming contaminated while cleaning. Its handy tray catches all the oily run-off generated by cleaning the chain and gears, preventing staining on garage floors and driveways. Sew down the seams. Don’t forget to leave an opening so that you can put in the elastic. 5. Threading Through the Elastic If you are working with smaller pieces of fabric, you may need to sew multiple strips together. You will also need to add additional seam allowances. 3. Create a LoopOnce done I would shuffle it around so that the seams of the elastic aren’t exposed. 7. Finishing the Scroll Frame Grime Guards.

Cut Moto Grime Guard to size to fit your specific motorcycle make and model.

Once you have hold of the two ends of elastic running through the hem - fasten both to the pin so that you don’t lose one and stretch out the cloth to even up the creases, do this on both sides and test attaching it to your Q-snap. If it seems a little loose you can trim the elastic down a bit to make it pull in tighter. Some elastic has more give in it than others so it is better to test the fit before you finish off. Step 8 Nearly double the lifespan of chains and rings for dry, dusty or gravel conditions compared to other brands. The length of the elastic will be roughly half of the fabric length. Then add 2 inches to sew a 1″ overlap. We need 2 pieces of elastic. The measurements will vary depending on your preferences. For example, maybe you want a smaller seam. 2. Fold the Ends of the StripsGrime guards are a great way to keep your projects clean, hold your needle, and store extra fabric. For a rectangular frame you would take the length of two sides and add 2 inches, such as 8 + 11 + 2 = 21 inches However, if you don’t have a needle minder handy and need a place to store your needle, you can weave the needle into the grime guard. Drivetrain Cleaner instantly blasts away contaminants on the chain and chainrings to effectively eliminate grease and grime. It also protects using our in house designed moisture repellent formulation and rust inhibitors to keep moving components in optimum working condition. Test the length by safety pinning the ends together. Make sure that there is enough clearance to get over the knobs of the frame and that the elastic can be pulled on easily.You also don’t want your elastic to be too loose either. 5. Adding the Elastic
