My chain's starting to rust as well on my Gix :(

A properly maintained chain should never rust, just give them more attention people.

But rusty chains match bald tires no?? :doh:

This is what I use along with the 622? Chain Lube by Motorex.

I LMAO at the guys who tell you that WD-40 will eat away at the o-rings/seals and then tell you that they use kerosene to clean their chains. MORONS

is it true a hair dryer can be used to warm up the chain?

excellent choice! me too. :ride:

i use the DuPont teflon dry wax lube regularly and have 5k miles on this chain so far. I just wish the master link was blue too

i was using a different sprocket in this pic, but am back to the steel drive systems now

I always take it for a short ride to get the chain warmed up.

always lube it after riding in the rain too

thanks, im just askin because i cant take mine for a ride. i try to spray it on after a track day but i was gonna clean it over the winter and was wondering how to warm it up.

I didnt read all this thread but, here is something more info on cleaning your chain.

So WD-40 = win

good info. WD-40 will not harm the o rings but it can work its way past the o rings and wash out the grease...

That sounds just as bad. Is it? I use some can of chain cleaner, Motorex I think.
