... University... handed in both my Assignments - a very satisfying feeling. Issue now is that I have another one due in 2 weeks, then another 2 weeks after that and another 1 weeks after that.... ERGHH Part time studying sucks when you are doing 5 modules in a year. Full time studying is 6 modules ...

The instructions say for best results apply to a warm chain. Easy enough 99% of the time, you just apply after a ride but what do you do when you've cleaned the chain and it has no lube left on it? Would you ride it for 10 mins to warm it up even though there's no lube on it of just apply it cold?
