Hello all,
So I just got done cleaning my chain after about 500 miles of riding. I sprayed some WD-40 on a rag and wiped it clean. Unfortunately there was a phantom rain shower that didn't even pop up on the weather radar so I had to put the bike back in the garage.
Now that the chain is clean I need to lube it up. I've read that you should take your bike for a like a short 15 minute ride to get the chain warm then to spray on the lube. I have the Dupont Teflon Chain Saver lube but I was wondering am I ok just lubing it up with the chain cold tomorrow?
I don't know how I feel riding on the chain all clean without the lube on to get it warm then to lube it. Is this what I'm supposed to do or am I fine lubing it cold? It is a wax-based lube so I imagine it would be fine without running it to get the chain warm.
Thanks again!
