Sneaky dirty rotten trick!!
You hear a fellow commuter with a squeaky chain.
You sneak up on them, and before they can do anything about it, you OIL THEIR CHAIN!

Dirty indeed...
Gosh, I thought that EVERYONE knew by now that oil collects too much dirt on the chain. I recommend a Teflon based lubricant, used sparingly.
Shame on you for fouling the drivetrains of your fellow commuters

my bike squeaks right now, but for different reasons...I have yet to figure out where it's coming from, but I have suspicions that it's the wrapped spokes that I'm runing on until I get some replacement spokes.

OK ok some Teflon etc based lubricant, but you know what I'm talking about, those riders going around with a noisy-ass chain that desperately needs oiling.

You can swab their aluminium frame with mercury and watch as the rider helplessly watches as the accelerant rapidly causes the AL to self oxidize into powder.

Think I am gonna go back to TriFlow... at least it lasts a while... but it does collect dirt and requires the chain to be cleaned.

I try to avoid commuting in the rain, which I can do because I have flexible hours. I do use wet lube when I need to, but I hate the sticky mess it turns my chain into...

I'm going to go to useing BreakFree on my chain, and just keep it wiped down to keep grunge from building up, that BreakFree is great stuff, made the chain much more quiet right away. Hey, the Army uses it on their rifles and tanks etc....
