> WD-40 is so light that it can be flung off a bicycle chain just from going around the cogs, which is a hell of a lot slower than car parts. How do you mean?

How do you mean? The WD-40 liquid falls of, or evaporates too quickly?
- hinkley 7y agoFor a while, decent bike tires had tan sidewalls. We noticed that some people had weird streaks on their tires that looked a lot like SpinArt. Someone somewhere figured out that WD-40 was causing that. And sure enough everybody with streaks said that they use WD-40 on their chains. The streaks were dirt sticking to oil. And if the oil is on your tire, it went past your rims to get there, which is very much not good.
