Great test (I know it's older but hey, the thread is back man). I wonder how the o-rings react to various lubricants used and then the solvents?

What I mean is, what if the rubber reacts to the rider's lube of choice and then reacts to the cleaning agent because of the lube?

WD-40
Oil
Wax
Chain lube spray
what else do ya-all use?

These were all 'virgin' o-rings.

Just thought I'd ask if anyone else had wondered?
