Re: rusty chain
Where abouts is the feed on the oiler positioned? As long as you're lubing the centre of the chain then there isnt necessarily a problem.

Re: rusty chain
Did you fit the Oiler yourself? If not I would be taking it back to the fitter as I too would be concerned especially if I'd just forked out on a new chain, sprockets and oiler!

Re: rusty chain
the oil dosent prevent the chain from rusting. So the chain can be perfectly lubed and still rust. I know this becasue I used mine, cleaned the chain and lubed it. Went away for 2 weeks, came back and my chain was rusty.
solution = clean chain again, rub off as much rust as you can. apply AFC50 then lube and dont worry about rust anymore  (you might have to apply the AFC50 again at some point if the rust starts to come back, but this depends on usage and weather) |

Re: rusty chain
Hmmmm never had the problem myself, I feel mine onto the rear sprocket, centrifugal force carries it to the rollers and the seals.
Cheers Mark.

 It is fitted to drip it onto the side of the rear sprocket, works fine on mine and several other bikes.

Re: rusty chain
Is applying ACF-50 to the chain OK for it?

Re: rusty chain
Yeah doesn't hurt, can't see it really doing much good either though except cosmetically.

Re: rusty chain
*****Jum Jum jumps of the sofa, puts laptop on the rug and runs out to the shed to get the ACF 50 in a big whoosh like motion
*****Thats good news for me too, to date ive resisted putting it on my chain fearing its not suitable. Everything else is coated in ACF though I doh like rust....... or dirt ! |
