Frog Chorus - rivet! rivet!

K2-K6:
Using lubrication when forming metal in that way is something I use for brake pipe flaring as it makes really nicely finished joints that don't take too much torque in getting them to roll over.

I've always run that oil facility closed on these bikes.

Don't know what your preferred chainlube is but for along time I've used Cal-gard Chain-kote. I started using it on bikes but also from my experience with it being so good I used it at work on machines we had with 50ft drive chains. They were driven by a big electric motor and had an ammeter in the supply circuit. We had to routinely time the machine process and adjust motor supply voltage to get correct timing, this chain lube virtually eliminated variance from chain friction and they always ran at lowered amperage with this stuff on the chain. The chains also lasted in excess of ten times compered to previous methods.

They do both a black one which I've used and the clear one which I've no experience of. It's really sticky when dry so I use it when getting home so it has time to dry out and you get very little fling off like that.

Advantage of using it at work was that we held stock of it. ;) happy days.
