I lied, it is another chain lube thread...

An interesting (that might be stretching it a bit) video on various chain lubes from cooking oil to WD40 to BelRay.

I've mentioned in a couple of threads in passing the fact that modern chains seem to rust quickly. In the summer I use WD40 chain grease since rust isn't an issue but in the winter I switch to a heavy gear oil. Since I'm a man, I don't normally read manuals, but in a moment of boredom I did read the AL7 manual which actually recommends gear oil which, is pretty much what the video says.

"The main reason for lubing chains is for rust prevention" was another fact from the video.
