yeah, $46 is stiff...I started thinking about this after the unfolding precipitation this week. We had a snow, then sun, then snow/rain. The snow/rain got all over my bike, despite fenders with big flaps, and froze. I actually had to attack it with a screwdriver and break ice off on Wed. and Thur. morning!

Well, yesterday I looked at my chain since the weather turned back good, and it was messed up...covered in salt, grime, just nastee! I cleaned it like a champ, but it sure got me thinkin'. I think $46 is cheap compared to never having to touch your chain...that is, if the friction on the Hebie is negligible!

So, Allen, Jeff, is it negligible?
