    Cool

    I wouldn't advise it,
    Liquid Wrench, Gunk Chain lube with Molly is recommended by CW
    and some folks are using Crane's Cam lube with Molly with success.

    Ps. Welcome to the CW Forum

    Recommended Liquid Wrench Chain with Moly most ace hardware stores can get it

    I would highly recommend Crane's Cam lube with Molly. It goes on easily and without a mess, lasts a long time (fewer applications) and it, in combination with a new Rock chuck, gives me very little heat on the flex cable.
