Its going to be a bit before I have to worry about any sort of shifting...gotta love NY...another 3-5 inches of wet,white,messin up my riding stuff on the ground. My buddy,an old dirt biker from way back,mentioned to me how they used to boil thier chains in oil before installing,and then at intervals after extended use...he couldn't tell me exactly why,it was just what he had learned...any ideas as to why,and,is this-when the time comes,neccesary?
