Ok, I just got a new Regina Z-Ring chain, and was looking online and stumbled
across this:

"Recently somebody told me that according to a chain article they read, WD was
bad for the chain. proper O, X or W ring chain maintenance is NEVER scrub the
chain becasue you will push the road grime past the oring into the heart of the
chain, and dramaitcally shorten the chains life. Just lube the rollers on the
sprocket teeth every few hundred miles with just enough lube to keep the parts
from rustings. That's all you need to do (besides adjusting it)."
Can this be right? I've been using a grime brush and a can of chain cleaner to
clean my old O-Ring chain every 300-500 miles or so, then riding for a few
minutes to warm the chain back up, then using PJ-1 Blue Label lube.
Can I skip the cleaning part and just do the lube?
Planning on doing a cross-country trip on my '92 with 70K miles on it, was
curious if I can skip bringing the chain cleaner and grime brush and just rely
on the lube.
Anyone smarter than me know?
Thanks!
