Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.

I rest my case.

Events will take their course, it is no good of being angry at them; he is happiest who wisely turns them to the best account.

Accept it Gene, youre WRONG, by popular opinion.

Hmm, appears to be. That's ok though, I'm American...we tend to think outside the box without paying much attention to draw-by-numbers naysayers, no matter how big of a circle they sit in to wanky wank-wank. That's how we progressed as a nation and became a super-power.

Say, speaking of which, are you boys a good example of a brit? I've decided to expand my research from just chains and sprockets to include how the US passed England up in a mere hundred years. You lads make wonderful test subjects, lolz. :crylaugh:

Ok, I'm glad we all agree. *smug grin*

Its fucksticks like you who give us Americans a bad name, If you just stuck to your facts, your argument would have been stronger, you have undermined all of your `hard` work by being a self-deluding idiot. Gman, enjoy your bike like everybody else, there is no need to slander and make childish quirps about other people, wether they be from here or over the pond.

I'm inclined to trust my experience in the Motor trade / engineering for over 16 years. ;)

As Chris said, the type of rubber is important. If you use parafin (kerosene) on engine or gearbox o-rings, THEY WILL SWELL UP!

Umm parafin is a wax not an oil. It's often used to seal homemade jam and such. It's also used as hand and foot soak. When used for a chain (traditional not o-ring) it's often used with motor oil and of course hot. Maybe you refer to kerosene as parafin on your side of the pond? I have never heard that use on this side myself.
