    Hello

    I've been given a new can of white lithium grease - Gooleman says 'use it
    for metal on metal contact'. No mention of rotting O-rings. Anyone know if
    it can be used on O-ring chains safely?

    given that most joints lubricated by grease have a rubber seal what do you
    think?

    I'd be more concerned about the grease picking up general detritus and
    forming a nice grinding paste between the rollers & plates. The best lube
    for a chain is an oil that flings off, taking grit with it. Hence the
    effectiveness of the Scottoiler in prolonging chain life.
