Good article. I clean my chain every 2000 miles or so. I lubricate as often as every 100 miles, depending on the conditions. I'll stick to Motul, as it has always worked for me. I used PJI until a couple of years ago, I can'tt remember why I stopped :?: but there was a reason :?

very interesting read...1 point i couldnt find, the "o" / "x" rings are also there for "damping" abilities and to relieve stress from the pins in the chain.
