Another chain question..

Just a question when lubing the chain.. the lube I use has a short 'straw' that fits in the hole of the nozzle. It always pops out of the nozzle when in use. Is is possible to remove the straw and just spray from the nozzle of the can? Thanks

yes, but be careful to not get any on your rear tire.

Thanks Allanoue.. good point. I will hold a sheet of cardboard behind the chain to hopefully prevent the lube from going all over the show!

I use the straw and a piece of cardboard behind my chain. Even with the straw I get a lot on the cardboard, so definitely cover the back of the chain as you spray.

Check out the GreaseNinja too. Someone here mentioned it, so I picked one up. It's a little weird to get used to at first, but once you get the hang of it, it is quite handy.

Thanks InvisiBill.. I saw that last night night on Google and I think it's a brilliant idea. Unfortunately they aren't available in South Africa and to buy off Ebay would be crazy expensive with our lousy exchange rate
