All of that is completely irrelevant to why I don't like solvent wax in the rain. It's an immediate effect of lost lubrication, not rust erosion. If the problem was rust, it wouldn't go away when I...

Oh, gosh, will it satisfy your pedantry if I specify "twisted by hand"? Or how about "twisted forcibly to any significant degree"?

A masked squeak?!?!?! Sorry, but when you assert something as absurd as that, I really don't need to discount my experience to fit your sophistry. There's no squeak because it's properly...

You're both describing completely different approaches to the same problem. I don't think either of you are wrong, you just have different preferences as to how you want to do the maintenance.

Yes, they are structurally quite different from bicycle chains. They're also built much stronger, bigger, and heavier. Hence, citing one particular factor as being key to bicycle chains not lasting...

We breathe air.

Take the free oxygen out of the air and we suffocate. You're making a distinction without a difference. Air without oxygen would still be air, fromn our perspective it just...

Too long to respond to fully, but I think we're really differing on how we rank the importance of the problems.

I will say, though, that comparing motorcycle chains on this basis is a bit silly. ...

I'm with you on this one, I definitely breathe air.

What's interesting about this post is that you're saying you're different from yourself--you do different things for different bikes. Serious question with no "wrong" answer--how do you decide which...

I think the more interesting question is why "ghoti" is almost universally attributed to Shaw when he never mentioned it. Classic false attribution/Mandela effect.

The trace amounts of grit for the relatively undemanding type of riding OP is describing?

"Rattling" of any kind on a road bike would drive me nuts, btw, so I'd have to second the "no thanks" of...

The original Latin word appears to be "sulpur", so that's just bad etymology (albeit oft-repeated). The " f" spelling appears to have originated in medieval France.

The confusion stems from the...

Seriously? A post count insult? That's all you've got?

Got you to change your sig line, btw.

If you look at this guy's post history, you will find he never asks a question in good faith, but is just setting people up for name calling. It's clear from his sig line, which is a response he had...
