So I said I would report back….Well I’ve never thought of it as an annoyance or nusiance. I just like to fiddle with stuff and experiment, not much else to mess with on this bike really. I’ve often thought of getting an older bike just to have more to do, but I am limited by garage space and the NC is such a great bike, I hate to give it up. The chain wasn’t very expensive, I bought a simple o ring chain nothing fancy, so maintenance expense really isn’t an issue either. After I get the old chain off, I’ll probably play with it to see if I can get the links to loosen up. I’ll report back what I find.
A year and 4500 miles later still on the same chain, chain still looks the same. Just added a nemo chain oiler, just because I often go down dirt roads and I’d like to oil the chain to clean it while I ride. I’ve stopped using the DuPont chain wax and just went to ATF or gear oil depending on my mood.
