new chain, slack
BTW in the text, it says
Subject: 8d.2 Chain cleaning and lubrication; wear and skipping Provided the section "8d.2" isn't a joke, where can I find the rest of the book? If all sections are as good as this one, and if we add illos on top of it, I dare say it is one of the best bicycle books OAT -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

Some of the film prices include processing charges. It is best to ask what's what." "20) rather than change your foreign currency back to US money when you return home, save it for future use when you return for your next adventure." "Air fares differ between high and low seasons, arrival and departure locations, date of purchase" But Jobst's advice on chain lubrication is still just as true: "Lubricating the chain with hot 90W gear lube works but it is also efficient fly paper, collecting plenty of hardpack between sprockets and on the outside of the chain. Motor oil is far better, but motorcycle chain and chainsaw lubricants are better yet, because they have volatile solvents that allow good penetration for their relatively viscous lubricant. Paraffin (canning wax), although clean, works poorly because it is not mobile and cannot replenish the bearing surfaces once it has been displaced. This becomes apparent with any water that gets on the chain. It immediately squeaks." You can buy a gallon of chainsaw oil for under $8 at Walmart, and it should last you many years, or the chain lubricants with foaming solvents that evaporate can be purchased at a motorcycle parts store. |
