Thanks for the kind words, but I'm not sure that CHAIN-L is right for the OP. Mechanically it's right for the bike, but it does have a marked odor of sulfur. I don't add scents to mask it, and some noses are more sensitive to it than others.

In fairness, the odor is worst during application and disappears soon enough, but the OP may still object.
