Chain lube retry

Okay okay.. Perhaps Ive nailed it this time. To comprehend deeper, lets take a look at the parts of an O-ring chain.



O rings help in lubricating the latches Only. Period.

I love using WD-40 for detailing the chain.

1. Assumption 1. Solvent does not damage the O-rings.
2. Light mineral oil left by the Evaporated wd40 is sufficient.
So the challenges are.
Lubrication between the roller and latch and sprocket teeth

So today, I drip each roller with a drop of gear oil.
