p.s. no need to lube a new chain, i remember that being a point of contention around here but i stand by it
That brings up something I've been thinking about for a long time. That lube that they saturate the chain with in the factory is great lube indeed. Why then, do the manufacturer's not sell that lubricant? I thought that maybe because they want chains to wear out so they can sell more of them but that only goes so far. Any other ideas?
KMC does sell a lubricant through their web site but I don't think it is the same as they put on in the factory...could be wrong about that though.
