|
|
OK so I've decided to get PJ1 lube and kerosene to take care of my gunked up chain.
Question: How do I know if I have an "O-ring. X-ring, or standard chain?" It depends on what type of lube I would need to buy. PJ1 Blue (o-ring and x-ring) or Black (standard/ non o-ring) can.
If possible can you post a pic of a chain? _________________ 2001 Skorpion Tour |

If you buy a chain lube suitable for o ring chains it will work fine for a standard chain.

Baghira comes with an o-ring chain. (afaik.)
If you're used to ordinary / non-o-ring chains, an o-ring chain will look like there's a slight space between the outer plates and the inner bushings. Look at yours and then look at a bicycle chain if you haven't got a 'normal' bike chain around to look at. |
