So you are saying that because they are oiled in the factory it never needs to be oiled and oiling a chain is just a pointless venture??
Also that this lubricant will not come out and new lubricant cannot be introduced??
Chain lube's primary job is to lube between the chain and the sprockets. Also to lubricate the moving parts(ie pins and bushes)
As I said in my previous post "The elongation of a chain is cause by the wearing of the joints between the links(ie bushing and pins)".
As a general rule it is best to lubricate your chain while it is warm, for example after a ride, because as the chain cools it draws lubricant past
the o-rings and into the pins and bushes "refilling" the lubricant in this area.
Sorry for causing a ruckus on your thread Tim
