Finally ! Someone else advocates not using WD 40 as a chain lubricant. The only reason why I would ever use WD 40 would be to degrease my chain and get rid of stubborn muck and then make sure that I lube the chain with some lubricant.

The good folks at BicycleTutor.com have a short nice video on why you should not use WD40.

Oh. Did I mention, BicycleTutor has quite a few videos which are worth checking out.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT CYCLING I love riding my bike. Whether it's a simple commute, a high-intensity road race, a jaw-grinding brevet, fixie rides thru packed Indian city or a kick-ass technical single track – I love it all. Apart from riding bicycles, I love being all geeky and know everything there is to know about bicycles, technology, bike fit, and service. I started BUMSONTHESADDLE to share this passion for cycling. DISCIPLINE: Partial towards MOUNTAIN BIKING but love it all CURRENT BIKE(S): Specialized Rockhopper, Specialized Tarmac, Pure Cycles Original DREAM BIKE: S-Works Epic HT & S-Work Roubaix OTHER PASSIONS: Technology, Photography, Baking, Travel, and Reading
