Took our mtbs out today and before riding saw rust on the chains on both our bikes.
Probably got wet at the end of the last year and forgot to lube/service.
I'm going to apply motor oil to make the chain usable and will service when we get home...
But what are the pros/cons of a stainless versus a steel chain? Our cassettes showed no rust whatsoever.
I know nothing beats a clean and lubed chain, and we will be installing a break in the chains so it's easy to get off, and this was a mistake on my part...
But all the same, is a stainless chain smart to use, especially for a heavier rider?
What are the best ones for shimano/SRAM drivetrains?
Thanks!
