Glad it was only a dream.

Oil and sand dunes don't.

Ok.... you might want to start laughing right now.....

First, order one of these for $10....

Next, get a 5 gallon bucket and a piece of thick plywwod about 1 " bigger in diemeter. Rout a groove in the plywood so it index's into the bucket lip about 1/4" or so.

Now.... connect the vacuum pump the the lid with fittings as need.

Ok.... the theory here is to place your chain in the bucket, and submerge it in heavy oil / thin grease.

Cover it with the lid , and turn on vacuum pump.

ALL the air will be drawn out of EVERY pore of the chain, rollers, links.. everywhere.

Once the vacuum is removed, atmospheric air pressure forces lube back into EVERY void and pore of the chain.

Its gotta work better than the " spray your chain and hope it sinks in somewhere" method... right?

The whole thing has to cost less that $15 bucks...

Retarded, or am I onto something?

I though you as Mr. O ring advocate dont have to lube your chain?

Post by **AlisoBob** » June 14th, 2007, 5:24 pm

I am.... but this method would work for either style...

How do you think they get lubed at the factory?

How much of a vacuum can you pull on a typical bucket? Enough to do any good?

Good point.

Thats why the lid has to index, to keep the bucket from collapsing..

I bet you could pull 25"

Brit would have to pull it at least five times to get 25 inches.

The last time I took some Homer buckets up to the mountains (7000' or so), with the lids on and sealed, they came back looking like this:

How much of a vacuum is that equal to?

Not much.... perhaps a different vessel is needed?

An old beer keg.

Or a small box of 3/4" plywood... Cheap!

Any other kind of beer and I'd drink the keg empty. But, this crap I'd just dump down the drain:

I wonder what my wife would do to me if she caught me using her vacuum packer to lube my chains?........

This chain would probably be too big to fit in Brit's whatchmacallit:

Here's a link to the story.
