And it seems not to be lubricated. Is there a special lube I should be using on the 7z1
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

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?
