| An o ring chain should have it's lube already inside, contained by the orings. Any lube you apply will just keep it from rusting/corroding, so use whatever you want for that purpose. | |

| Amsoil makes a good spray wax lubricant. I use it on everything, garge door rollers, hinges etc. No dripping at any temp and will not attract dirt or dust. | |

| It's All Messy! They Claim That The O Ring Is Cleaner. I Always Just Put Some Grease On It. Like A Thin Coat So It Wouldn't Sling Over Everything. I Found That The Sprays You Have To Keep Doing It. | |

| that would work, but keep in mind....grease is a better magnet for dirt and debri than wd 40!! cleaning and regreasing would be in order....

| My shovel still has a chain. Remember back in the day when everybody carried a universal link on their key chain? I have never run an O ring chain just the trusty ol black diamonds I use a product called chain coat. I have never had a lick of problems with my belt drives, knock on wood. Al | |

| i dont know how often you need to respray your chain, but the ideal way is to get into a regular maintainance. you can also over lube it, and what happens then is it just slings off. that is wastful and expensive....and as sprotsterboy said,,,,,messy..have a great day!!

| chain spray
I ride a lot you know to and from work and then lots of day trips and in the evening after work into the mountains. So I try to remember to spray the chain. Only the guy who changed the oil for me really lubed it I noticed when I got the bike home last week from his shop. So much so that there was gobs of grease from it on the chain cover. So now I'm thinking base on what you said he over lubed it. should I wipe some of that off. Its gobbed up pretty thick. Susan | |

| I would clean the chain good and then use a lubricant like Chain Lube or a similar brand in a spray can with a plastic tube that fits in the nozzle. Lift the rear wheel off the ground and you can direct the lube right where its needed, where it contacts the sprocket. The stuff I use drys tacky so it sticks to the chain (if you don't over do it).
