Doing this today! And then, I'll be biking to the #CommunityGarden to weed and water!

Lubricating a chain.

Use a quicklink to make chain removal easy.

Remove the chain, if necessary clean de grease and dry it

Sink the chain in a mixture of hot paraffin wax and some molybedenum disulfide.
I dissolve grease in hot wax to get that.

Move the chain around in the hot wax mixture. When no more bubbles come up remove the chain, wipe while hot.

Refit, if you wish you can give sprocket/sprockets them a very thin coat of wax mix diluted in de greaser.

All my chains look absolutely disgusting

Mine get a bit dusty sometimes clay sticks in the spaces between rear sprockets, when dry it just brushes off.

rub some of the muck on a conventionally oiled chain between your fingertips, you are very likely to be able to feel how abrasive that mix is.

Bike industry wants you to oil or grease chains because they wear out components faster, that means more sales.

Hmmmm, @Kerplunk . 🤔
