Agreed! I think you hit the nail on the head--its more important to keep the chain free of abrasive gunk than it is to keep it heavily lubricated. Especially on a vehicle that sees anything other than clean, paved roads. The ideal chain product would be one that is a "heavy" dry lubricant. I don't know how that can be achieved, though. If I did, I bet I could make some good money! :-) -- Blake Sobiloff San Mateo, CA (USA)

Sufficient was a poor choice of words on my part. I should have said best. I use a product very much like WD40, but with better lubrication in my experience. I'm completely sold on the idea of not using something that cakes dirt, sand and other abrasives on the chain, and that, I suspect, is what allows us to get more life out of our chains. I posted that previously. I was simply saying that I would like to get the benefits of a corrosion fighter, water displaser and even de-greaser, like a WD40, with better lubrication than a "light" lubricator.
