oh, not at all.
I want to use the best stuff I can get...we paid a lot for the bike (well, for us anyway) and I dont want to cheap out on anything especially lubrication....I just dont like that Ice Wax....I can literally hear the links hitting the sprocket fairly loudly after a bit of a ride and the chain almost seems 'stiffer', if that makes sense, once we've ridden a while. Not to mention it makes me very nervous knowing this stuff is a two in one product.....Ive run machinery alll my life and these wonder 2-in-1 products normally have a price to pay for their convienience later on. (no offense to those who use it)
I plan on getting the best oil I can find, and keeping the chain very clean (Im cleaning it now even when we arent riding due to the cold just to have an excuse to mess with the bike
)
