• 3/32" chains: Wippermann 7Z1 for outdoors

    Eurgh, just don't get the version with "Anti-Rust coating"; it's so matte silver it's almost white!

  • I just received a 7z1 in the post this morning - it is fugly and weird looking. Almost can't put it on the bike. Will give it a go though as the current KMC got very worn, very quickly.

    Don't like the snap on link though. And it seems not to be lubricated. Is there a special lube I should be using on the 7z1. Was thinking something ceramic and dry?

    They do come with factory grease, just not swamped in it like some makes. You can either leave it alone (it's a chain for your shopping bike, not something to get precious about) or you can strip off all the grease with a solvent degreaser and then vacuum impregnate with a suspension of about 5% W/W of nano-divided WS2 powder in paraffin wax
