If I am riding home in the rain, should I oil the chain when I get home or wait until morning when the chain will be dry? Not sure how effective it is oiling a wet chain, but I just got a new one and want to make it last. Thanks Crash

You can displace the water with WD-40 (you should clean it anyway, right?), then oil/grease/wax to your heart's content. -Jeff Khoury

Better to use the WD-40 to remove the water and the inevitable crud attached to the chain wax. Bogdan, who believes in the efficacy of bikini wax but not chain wax.

If it doesn't kill you... make it stronger! Walt -----Original Message----- WD-40, lots of it - then do nothing else. Bogdan, who supports hope and chains.

I HATE, Chain Wax, It collects and holds the sand ect. to/in the chain. (then, Hard to clean off.) Look at some of the stuff that miss's the chain and TRY to wipe it off with your finger.

I seem to have a slight leak in my front sprocket seal. This lubes my chain perfectly. What a system! Robert Wichert P.Eng. LEED AP BD&C +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ===============================================

Wax is a clinger....and bad from what I have seen unless you want to clean the chain all the time. I have heard it gums up and cracks O rings. Criswell Sent from my iPad

I admit that as I admired his skill I also thought, "Texas's tax dollars at work." It's a pretty unlikely real-world scenario that renders this skill necessary, but it may keep him safer on the job.
