So how do the mechanics of a chain work ?
I was lubing mine often on the euro run this year,,but,,,,,,, I knackered my chain,,forgot to lube it ONE morning,,after a 3 or 4 hundred mile ride,,then another 3 hundred ontop,,it started to stiff link,,,shit me up a bit,,totally fucked it...replaced when got home..
So the side plates are compressed against an o ring of rubber which probably keeps the lube already inside the pin ,roller inside and the road grime out,,so some of the reason we lube is to lubricate these rubbers and lube the side plates moving against thereselves,,
so when you lube your chain does the lube penetrate beyond,go inside the rubber rings ?
