Title: Rusted chain?
Post by: hyphen on December 15, 2008, 12:23:33 PM
So I was cleaning\lubing my chain the other day and noticed that there were some rusted parts.  There were spots of rust on the outside of the plates, of which I was able to remove most.  But there was some on the inside that I couldn't get off.  I used wd40 to clean and then pj1 blue label to lube.  It wasn't horribly rusted but it's noticeable.  Will this be a big issue?

IMO rust on the plates is a non issue.

When you see rust coming from inside the rollers it's an issue.

Side question:

How's you experience w/ the PJ1? I got LOTS of fling w/ that brand and switched to Maxima Chain Wax and now I'm on Dupont Teflon Chain Lubricant.

PJ1 Blue will not fling as badly as black.
