Hi guys,

I just wanted to pass along something that has made a huge difference for
my routine greasing needs, motorcycle chain lube, any kind, but this is
what I have been using:
https://www.chapmoto.com/maxima-chain-wax.html?sku=353-0558&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkejF_eme7wIV-CitBh2m2AmsEAQYBSABEgLF6_D_BwE

or just Google search on cheap motorcycle chain lube.

The ease of application (the spray tube), the ability to penetrate
assembled parts, the water resistance, stickiness, rust prevention, etc.,
really make it handy.

If you can get the tip of the spray tube in contact with the gap/opening,
it will foam into the gap, penetrate/disappear into the space, and stay
there.

I started using it to lubricate the manhole cover seals in my driveway
(they would rust) as it was a lot easier than lifting them off to grease
the seal. (the manhole covers would rust tight into the ring and make it
extremely hard to remove when necessary).

I then realized how well it worked to lube the wheels on my lawnmower
without taking the wheels off. I find that I will lube things more
regularly now because it is so convenient to do so without disassembly.

 It works great for exterior hinges, lubing your vise, control cables,
wheel bearings on the wheelbarrow, etc.

Now I would not use it for high speed wheel bearings or anything like that,
but for anything less intensive than a motorcycle chain and sprocket, I
think you will find that it really works well and is very convenient.

FWIW...

best,

Doug
