OK, let me set this straight, I work on auto's all day every day, where
there is spinning stuff that will cut any part off or rip it off instantly, when
I was a young lad I was a turret lathe machinist, so I am very careful not
to pinch anything, or get the rag caught between the chain and teeth,
I fully agree that the chain lube products out there are just that.....dirt
magnets and moister trappers, I think a clean and lightly lubed chain is a
happy chain, the trick here is to lightly lube the chain without all the mess
that excess fluid makes, and those brush cleaners will eventually damage
the o-rings that you want to maintain, what I meant to say earlier
was that I could rarely go on a ride that some other rider would tell me
how clean my chain was, it looks like a mirror. the other trick is to keep
the chain clean, so it takes some maintenance to keep it like that, but
I would never trade for a shaft, they suck, WD 40 is a penetrant and not
real good as a lubricant, I would not use it as my lubricant, but these
chain lube company's are getting paid just to ruin our stuff and constantly
clean the crap up, it is ridiculous. I am set in my ways, no grime no rust.
