[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 1267837, member: 22283"] The MX-1000 will do a much better job than the gear oil on the ring chain. A ring chain does have internal lube sealed in, but it also has rollers that are not lubricated. These need to be lubed, as well as the rings need periodic lubrication to keep them supple. Neglecting to keep the rings clean and lubed can cause them to fail. MX-1000 is loaded with molybdenum disulfide, which is basically a powdered mineral. The larger particles do fall out of suspension. I would advise shaking the can up real well before using, but if you happed to not shake it, it will still be well fortified with plenty of lubricating solids in a polyol ester and solvent carrier. Dry-film goes further than any other lube. It will spread out amazingly well with just a small drop or two. And don't be afraid to use it even during the ride when your chain may have dirt on it. It will go on and penetrate to the friction points just fine. Once you get used to how this type of fluid acts, you will get better at using it. [/QUOTE]
