WD-40 is bad news bears for chains. All the mechanics in my shop would say the same thing (though probably without bad news bears) and everyone I have talked with about it would agree. I am of course talking about WD-40 and not their bike products. However I guess if you lube the chain as well it may not be so bad but then no need for WD-40
Some people put used cooking oil on their chain and that just makes my head want to explode.
