do monkeys lube their chain

[Mustang]

Hi ya stretch
is it true that monkeys have figured out how to make a oring chain last forever without oil ? What's  his secret .....is it  


WTF !

Beats me.  Maybe he's using tungsten carbide sprockets and chain rollers.  He seems pretty sure of himself, though.  Like I said to him, it's his bike.

I saw that too. I also saw that Dupont has the Multi-use Teflon spray that goes on wet to penetrate but dries so that it won't attract dirt or sling off. Going to get some this weekend. It's suppose to last 3-5 times longer than conventional lubricants and is safe for o-ring chains. Sounds like some great stuff. Here is an article on it.

I've been using chain saw bar oil in a small squeeze bottle (cheap bastard), but I've been hearing so many good things about the DuPont Teflon lube, I will give 'er a try.

I use ATF.  It's cheap-cheap-cheap and self cleaning.  Wax is about the worst thing for your chain.

I just cleaned a year's worth of chain wax off my chain.  Big thumbs up for the kettenmax chain cleaner.  BIGGER thumbs down for chain wax.  There was a big pile of chain wax gunk behind the front sprocket cover.  It's chain oil for me until I get a chain oiler installed.

Well, he's come back now saying he does lube his chain, he's just not anal about it.

Translation:  Gee, I guess you guys were right all along.

Been using the Teflon spray for about 4,000 miles now. No buildup, minimal wear (almost none) showing. I'm no expert on chains or lubes, but it seems to be working just fine.

I've got a brother in law that uses bar oil chain on his KLR. 18,000 miles on the original chain and sprockets. They look new. Sprockets is probably his riding style but the chain is lasting very well on bar oil.

It's not bad... thick and sticky, although it does sling a bit.  I'll try the Teflon when I remember it next time I'm at Lowe's Depot.

I've got a case of the Dupont Teflon Stretch!!  Should have brought you a can for setting up lunch!  Next time I'll bring ya two.
