Greasing a roller brake in a difficult spot!
I have used Lucas "Red & Tacky" which is the same grease I used in my BBSHD Main gears. It is great with heat and so far 1118km is working well.

What is the model of this bike?
Bike decals do not just "get lost" - someone has put effort into removing branding and evidently all the paint.

Is it possible to change chainrings to bigger on Shimano FC-MT500-B2 (2x10, 36T-26T)?

Is it possible to change chainrings to bigger on Shimano FC-MT500-B2 (2x10, 36T-26T)?
Maybe
It’s a 96mm BCD chainring so you might be able to purchase a compatible part e.g Shimano XT M782 40t 96mm 10-Speed. A third party 96mm ring will also be fine. You will be looking for 2x10 96BCD ...

Chain broke after link removal - what to blame (with photos)
I suspect you'd somehow not rejoined the chain completely. I had a quicklink fail this morning after removing that chain for waxxing. Likely I hadn't clicked both sides home completely.

HELP with derailleur upgrade question
You'll need any 8 speed derailleur from Shimano or another manufacturer.

Claris crankset compatibility with 105 components
If you mean to say you're putting on an 11-speed STI, no, it will not work with your 8-speed FD. Not even a little bit. Shimano road 11 front derailleur cable pull is too different from previous ...

Claris crankset compatibility with 105 components
Try and see. Basically all bicycle chain is 1/2" pitch between the rollers, and the "speeds" difference is in thickness. You absolutely need to use the narrower chain to suit the ...

Claris crankset compatibility with 105 components
I think you could give it a try. Check to see how the 11-speed chain engages the Claris chainrings. Also check to see if the 11-speed chain will slip between the two chainrings. If it engages well and ...

Claris crankset compatibility with 105 components
An 11-speed chain will provide terrible shifting on an 8-speed crankset with an 8-speed FD. The chain is significantly narrower on the outside. The usual rule of thumb is that a one-speed difference ...

Can a broken ratchet in Shimano Tiagra 4600 rear shifter be replaced?
