another chain issue
When you buy a new chain, sometimes its in
a box and is very well lubed. But sometimes it comes from a big roll (coil?) and there is what appears to be but an oily touch. Should you lube it when you've put it on or is the "industrial lube" worth preserving? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

It has been my experience that the lube from the manufacturer is generally better and lasts longer than anything you could put on as a replacement. I can't quite remember but I think that my KMZ Gold (high end not color) said that they were lubricated for life. |
