Over lubing the chain

[stlee29]

Hi Mursili,

The scottoiler does fling a few drops now and then on the rear rim and exhaust. It's just a convenience way to constantly lube the chain.

To make the cleaning easier, I spray wd40 on the rim when it's dry and then go riding. Need to only wipe clean off with a rag.
It's a feature with bikes with chains. Guess that's one reason why the new dual purpose bikes are going for shaft drive.
Bikes are toys and toys also need TLC.

Finish Line's other specialized chain lubes are very interesting as well: http://www.finishlineusa.com/product...es.htm#ceramic

While I haven't used Finish Line's products on a motorcycle chain, I can vouch for their performance on a bicycle. Back when I was riding much more than I do now, I picked up a bottle of the wet lube when I got the bike. No dirt riding (old road bike), but I don't think I re-lubed the chain for about three years. I think it's still wet. I might give it a shot on the V when my can of DuPont runs dry.
