I lube by putting a drop on each link, rather than squirting while rotating the chain.
And yes, use a track pump. I have a topeak joe blow https://www.mtbdirect.com.au/product...oor-pump-black |
Geeze, I had forgotten the old water / milk bottle, shake it up trick.
Works a treat.
Anyone here remember the super expensive Rohloff chains.
They were like jewelry. Swapped between 2 so I would never get them dirty.
Did last well though.
