Speaking of which, anybody know what color FB's chain lube turns when it gets a little dirty?
I suspect it starts out green, then goes to yellow as a warning, then red indicating stop immediately and relube, and black when it's dead.
Come to think of it, wouldn't that be cool to have the chains themselves change color as they wear?
