What the hell is 'embracing the chain on the lower run'? And, whilst wearing a rubber glove??
Andres
Ooh, you’ve got me all moist!
That was the plan..
A mate used to do similar to this on his 750/4 F2, but stoooopidly used to have the engine running and the bike in 1st gear.
Got one of his pinkies too close to the rear sprocket one day, sprocket grabbed it and when it came out the top side it was minus the end

Mate of mine use to do the same thing, i kept telling him it would end in tears, unfortunately it did, he lost 3 fingers
I bought this the other month.

Its a bit fiddly to get the applicator to sit correctly (because you have to bend the straw and its prone to pinging off the can), but once you've got it right, it worked very well

Christ on a stick, it's just a fecking chain, how complicated can it be? Boys and their toys eh!
Sorry.
As you were

Lube it from the outside. It still spreads around to the inside.
Then, ahem, *embrace* it with a microfibre and rotate the wheel to remove excess. There are guards fitted that prevent tangling fingers with teeth.
The real question, of course, is what oil?

I watched the video. Remarkable how little lube gets on the rollers

I fitted a Tutoro and its amazing - simple to fit - no need for any bike vacuum or power connection and it just works. I'm using up my Scottoil stocks in it. I still clean my chain of course - paraffin takes care of that form me.

Only works with SDOC chain lube. could probably make one with a bit of cardboard that works with whatever can you have - or put on a rubber glove and hold it behind chain. I just spray at the back of the sprocket, my lube fizzies a bit so should work in OK.
