I neglected my first chain by accident since my old bikes used to oil them for me from the crank breather. I really hardly ever gave it a thought until BigBill challenged to see how long it would last if I kept up with the neglect. So I stopped oiling all together at that point in the interest of experimentation. I no longer oil mine at all. My new set hasn't been oiled at all, so we will see what happens. The O or X ring chains have seals to keep the dirt out and lube in but the reverse is also true, those same seals keep the chain lube out.


I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
