Good info except this quote from the site:

"The only correct way to get the �lube� to the Pins....is to spray just above the chain at the bottom of the sprocket & let �gravity� do the work. The lube will flow between the side plates to get to the shaft of the Pins. Then do the other side the same way."

What are we talking about??? magic one way O rings??? because how does the O ring allow lube to pass *in* but not allow the factory grease to escape *out*??? Mercy... if O rings are an effect seal then lube will not pass and lube will not reach the critical pin junction...

It would be like trying to replenish your engine oil by pouring it over the dip stick and hoping gravity will let the pass the O ring...

Good info. I will try lubing my chain as described on the site. There are many ways to skin a cat but I'd go with these guys knowing a little about chains.

Thanks
