I have to wonder, have you tried a bike that doesn't have a derailleur without a lubed chain? Not trying to turn the tables here, but I just can't understand why people lube their chains.



I don't have any reason to lube my chain as it is (other than feeling like I'm in the twilight zone). Works perfectly.
