Ok, so if I use oil my new bike wont self-destruct then ?
Is there a certian type that is better for bike chains than others?
As pointed out above, chain lube is a common topic on the forum. I've been using Prolink for about 5 years on a mountain bike and it works best for me. It's oil based, and goes on wet, but dries so it doesn't accumulate much crud and cleaning is as simple as running a stiff brush over the chain.
