Chain Lube for non o-ring chain

Thumper · 02-07-2023, 03:29 PM

This chain has only ~500 miles on it. It is the original SFR 520H chain that came with my 5speed Templar X. It is light, but plenty tough. It was a little too long (new), so I took two links off while building the bike. I have NOT had to remove more links yet.

It is not an o-ring chain, so it soaks up chain lube nicely. I hang it from the ceiling, put a vinyl glove on my left hand to cup the chain, and soak it top to bottom.

It will need to be wiped off, but this really gets in deep. It is worth pulling the chain and reinstalling.
