Ya know, the more I read about oiling versus not oiling, and using detergents and not using detergents, and different techniques from using a paint brush with WD40 to cooking your chain in an over then using a power sprayer, the more I get confused on this whole issue.
First, I've read posts here that said you should NOT oil your chain, most that say use some oil, and others that say use some kind of wax/parafin. Which is it, and why is one way better than another??
Second, way back in childhood I used WD40 and a 1/2" paintbrush to clean the links one at a time, usually with the chain still on the bike. Is this old fashioned manual method still acceptable, or is WD40 bad for today's chains?!?!
Help!!
