Yes it does look like the OEM one when looked at that way round.
I have another question. Would people remove the grease that the new chain is coated in, I plan on using gear oil as my lube regime as spray wax is sticky and attracts grit and that is just like what is on the new chain.
Im thinking a few wipes over with a paraffin coated rag and not a massive scrub in a bucket of paraffin - although I could do that before it gos on the bike.
If you want to clean it off before it will be easier to do before you put it on as you can flex the links, I have never used chain wax only lube on O- ring chains & oil on standard chains when chain wax/ lube didn't exist & I can tell you grit sticks to oil & you have to apply more often than chain lube as it flings off more so. Paraffin soaked rag would be fine. [img alt=Smile]http://foc-u.co.uk/Smileys/efocicon/smile.gif[/img]
[/quote]Thanks. I have only ever used chain wax and after 22k miles 18k in the dry and am having a few stiff links so I want to give gear oil a try on a - never waxed chain. I will see how I get on.
I hope to get it done this week.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
