I know this may seem a bit adverse but does anyone know where I could buy a grease-free chain? ie it comes with no lube on it at all - its not for a biking application 🙂
Thanks

What are using it for? As a whip...and don't want to infect anyone with the grease?! 😉

I would imagine not as the grease will also be a rust inhibitor. Can you not just buy a normal one and soak it in degreaser?

Yeah I can do that, It was for making the odd bike trophy and degreasing takes a lot of time and acetone! Just takes a hell of a lot of scrubbing before its sufficiently grease free before glueing

Depending on the length you need.... look a fashion accessory type places.

I bet theres loads of cyber goth type places that sell chains etc.

try ebay for cheapo i guess. "bike chain belt/bracelet/necklace" etc

Drop an old one by the LBS, throw them a couple of quid and ask them to leave it in the parts washer for the afternoon?

You can have any of mine after a typical winter ride round here. Guaranteed to not have a drop of grease left on them.. 🙂

Seriously though, used may be the way to go and then spray them silver after welding

Degrease it in a bath of white spirit, takes no time and little effort. Will get surface rust fairly quickly...

EDIT: not in an actual bath though, obv!
