Chris.right my point is it says in the manual to lubricate the chain every
1,000km (600ml) using SAE 80 or 90 gear oil, which I have certainly been
doing, so how come the chain was so dry, it didn't look dry but obviously
because of the noise it WAS !!! I haven't used it much in the rain and most
of my journeys so far have been fairly local trips of around 50 miles (
fair-weather plastic crotch !!! )
what oil and how often do you guys lubricate your chain ???
Uhh, huh...1 tkm lubrication interval sounds like recommendation from a
chain&sprocket dealer securing his business...
Lots of O-chain spray every 300 kms (with every refilling), in the rain even
more often and always spray on warm chain after the ride, says
