Apparently you didn't see the old TV ads during the 80s "Motor Oil is Motor
oil" the guy said as his bomb car spewed blue smoke everywhere. Baby oil
will lube, why don't you slather some of that on your bike.

They use the least expensive stuff that will do the job. They also don't
have a consideration for the condition their product is used in.

A lube isn't a lube. White Lightning is a lube but I think it performs like
[censored]. WD40 technically is a lube and it's crappier still. What part of you
self-important swelled head can't comprehend I want a *specific* lube?

Not in my book. I've used glues less sticky.

Petey boy, I also have collected fine pipes, model railroad, 1:48 scale
military aircraft and have dabbled in writing science fiction. Why don't
you make fun of that too. Or maybe you spend too much time looking for
felching pictures.

Uh uh. One ride and it is black!

So Petey boy, what do you put in your car? The no-name [censored] at the 7-11 or
a quality motor oil that will preserve your investment? Last time I looked
you bike seemed to be worth several times what mine is. Interesting to know
you don't give a [censored] when it comes to taking care of it. Or maybe your
precious camera is the only thing you care about.
The cracked chain I took off was stripped and treated with Pedro's when it
was new. I forget how old it is but SRAM hadn't bought out SACHS when I put
it on. It's older than the computer on the bike at the moment and it reads
over 4500 miles. Seems like 10 minutes of work really had a nice return.
You've spent more time proving your a puffed up toad responding to me than I
spent changing the lube on my chain.
