Putting a parts order together now. I'll look at them. I'm usually pretty good with chain maintenance. Or at least I was when it was all dirt bikes around here.

I always thought I was good with chain mx, to but the difference with teh oiler is incredible. The chain is silent, smooth and almost never needs adjustment. The current chain/sprockets have over 20K on them and no wear is evident. When I was researching the oiler, many reviews claimed better than 50K chain life. Now I see that they were not exaggerating.

Just looked at them. More expensive than I thought they were, but less than the price of a new chain/sprockets.

Nah. Just finished getting the new sprockets and chain installed 15 minutes ago...
Got a week's worth of tagging to do tomorrow...

Edit: surprising that EVERY SINGLE NOISE I was hearing was directly related to a chain that appeared fine visually.

New list.
Since I gave O2TAC grief about this one, an honorary O2TAC list.


1) O - get a sign containing the word "oxygen"

2) 2 - a stretch of two lane road ahead of you with no other vehicles visible

3) T - a shop whose primary focus is tea. Coffee shops allowed as long as it's obvious they sell tea.
-OR-
- a place that sells golf Tees. Either a golf pro shop or a golf retailer. Not a generic sporting goods store or the like.

4) A - A business whose name starts with or is AA or AAA

5) C - a carbon based life form. Not yourself.

Wildcard) O2TAC on a bike (a gimme for one person in this game. )

If it is still there I will check for the one in downtown Fay. I picked up the rest of the list yesterday while running arrans.


Will the Ice tea sign at a Bojangles work?
