| Who remembers Link Life? the graphite solid wax/oil.
We used to have to remove the chain completely from the bike, boil the link life until molten and insert the chain.
1. Wait till Mum went out so you could do it in the comfort of the kitchen, on her new Rayburn
2. remember to attatch a small bit of wire to hook over the end of the chain. Otherwise you needed to fish around in boiling hot graphite oil to find the chain.
3. Spray air freshner liberally around before mum got back home.
4. Repeat the process every 4 weeks.
Any of the modern chain lubes would be preferable to that maintenance program. |
