Is it ok to use 3 in 1 machine oil on a bone dry chain that my Mrs (30 miles away) forgot to oil this morning before she went out? :)

Pretty much any oil that is liquid enough to get into the chain properly will do it. You might find there's alot of fling though.

Would do it at a push, but I'd recommend cleaning it off and lubing properly afterwards.

No you can't, you don't have a topbox!
Hah, you all laugh at me for having a monstrosity on the back of my bike, but I laugh at you.


When I'm drunk.



On all the beer I just carried back from the shop, in case you didn't get the subtlety of my joke. :wink:

WD40 is recommended for cleaning off chains before using a proper chain oil. I use it every so often with a toothbrush. (for my chain, not my teeth).

So you shouldn't have any problems as its a penetrating oil, but it won't stay there long....

try using parafin mate instead.

much much cheaper and easier.

You don't need a topbox - I can fit a crate of beer in my Belstaff rucksack!

You don't need a top box I've used a cargo net to hopld 2 crates of beer on the back before. Wouldn't want to go too far with it like that though

I remember chuckling when I saw a bloke on one of those gargantuan scooters (you know the big, 650cc, 2 people things) trying to cram a crate of beer into the underseat storage on it.

I fitted my evenings drink in my tankbag. How? VODKA :D
