Chasm54,
You didn't start any bad feelings here, you have a lot of experience to share with us and that is why I love 50+. Many people use WD-40 as a lubricant, it just will wear out there parts, needlessly. Too long a product history to erase this use, I just hate for a 50+ member to ruin a good chain or component. I have seen people on forums for dirt bikes go ballistic about WD-40 both ways. No need to get heated about anything here or any forum. It is just electrons in the ether after all, as Denver tells me when I get upset. And he is right, too.
