Default Possible chain lube?

We stock this in gobs at my office. But generally it stays on the shelves. Any thoughts on a possible chain lube?

I can't help but think it's not that heavy duty. I'd think it wouldn't hold up to water or anything. And you might have some issues with it causing a mess and getting all of your leg, tail fairing, and rim...


Only one way to tell, though. I don't think it'll hurt anything.

That's what I was thinking. That and a job-lifetime supply of free chain lube with the added convenience of just showint up to work to restock...

If it created too much of a mess or didn't hold up to any sort of weather, you could at least clean with it....


Fringe benefits.

Wait a minute....hold up.

You mean the BMW doesn't lube the chain on its own?
Its the least all those electronics could do!

Could be used only thing is it will fling off and you'd use a boat load of it quickly. That's
the kind of lube one would use for general low velocity stuff like garage door trackss and openers etc.
