where do you guys lube your chain
on both side of the links
on the top and bottom of the chain where the seals are
or both of the above

 

you want to lube the rollers that make contact with the sprockets. the o-rings are sealed (presumably) so lubing them won't do a whole lot.

 

thanks and as for cleaning the chain should i use a little gas or soap and watrer

 

Soap and water?!?!?!?!? [sm=icon_rofl.gif]

Cleaning of chains is highly debated subject. Diesel fuel, kerosene, WD40, soap and water, or specialty cleaners .... ???

WD40 does a great job, but allegedly can attack the O-rings in your chain, causing it to lose the special lubricant, leading to accelerated wear. Many folks use it however without any reported problems.

Personally, I use Motorex chain cleaner and a stiff brush, with good results.

There are alot of great postings on this subject on this forum, and other articles on the internet, including a few on the chain manufacturer's sites. Suggest that you search and decide what is best for you, but you can't make a mistake if you use a specialty cleaner designed for O-ring chains.
