ran X ring for 23,000 miles about with no lube and still was in good shape but starting to need more frequent adjustment.No visible wear on the rear sprocket and only very slight wear on the front.I think with the X ring chain all lube does is make dirt stick to it and wear your sprockets. The double sealing surfaces keep any lube you put on out of the link anyway.

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