Chain lube/chain wax?

[p.dath]

I found this info for NOT using WD40 on your chain.

You'll have to skip near the bottom of the article where they post a picture of the damage done from regular WD40 use.

EDIT: This is a comment from the WD-40 company, where they say WD-40 can strip out the lubricant INSIDE of the O/X-ring in the chain.

That doesn't sound good to me.

Yeah bro, all this "truth" doesn't reeeeeely need extracting, categorising, classifying, and alphabetising. Hey its a good service you provide, and it doesn't bother me, and kudos for it, but you can take a break if you need to.

IVe been using stuff called prolan lately.. smells like.. i donno .. farm.

But it was better than my old lube which went every where..

i heard good things bout prolan on this forum too. But my chain doesnt seem as 'wet' as when i was using my old stuff.. hmm

Wow, does no-one else use Bel-Ray?

Doesn't fling, specially if applied to a warm chain, straight after a ride.

Oh, on the technical side... The lube is there to be soaked inside the rollers. They are not protected or lubed by the contained o/x-rings. That's the way I see it anyway... Also, by having a coating on the rollers, the roller to sprocket interface should result in less wear over time, simply due to having some form of lubrication between the two surfaces. IMO, YMMV...
