Re: [St] Wax or oil?

Interesting, I too use the Dupont Teflon spray. I have been looking for the bottle in my retail shops but cant seem to find it. I have seen it in the Aerostich catalogue: http://www.aerostich.com/catalog/US/Teflon-Multi-Use-Lubricant-p-19085.html
 
I just put a new chain and sprocket set on my 01 and am very happy with the result. Notchiness is gone and I realize how much noise was eminating from it.

I was faithfully using the DuPont Teflon spray, until about three weeks
ago.
I was just getting my VFR back from the shop after the hit-n-run crash
and the chain needed lubing.

One of the speed freak mechanics made a comment about my chain needed
lube, since it was cleaned with the bike during the rebuild and I
responded that I would lube it with my can of teflon spray when I got it
home.
The mechanic that had worked on my bike, perked up his ears and dove
into his tool box. He had the teflon lube in a squeeze bottle (like a
white glue bottle) and proceeded to treat my chain.
The next day I found it in catalog of one of our major distributors and
ordered a case.

It will be a long time before I need more teflon lube.
And now that I can just dribble it on the rollers, instead of spraying
the world, I'm good to go.

This stuff might even work in a scottoiler or another one of those
automatic chain oilers.
