Greetings from The Savannah in Africa. Thought I might add my sixpence worth here if I may. As most of the trucks and automobiles use SACHS timing chain in their engines, Matilda and I elected to source SACHS chains from the Portugeuse factory with marvellous O-rings for our Cannondale quad bike machines. They work awfully well, and to prevent the tardy wear and tear from the African dust, we use the oil from the Lineola leaf to lubricate the chains on our machines. Both Matilda and I find the result most pleasing although there is an aroma or cat urine when the chains are a tad hot, I might say.
Well, must be off now, as Matilda has to milk the goats, and I have a wind mill pump to which to attend. Oh, don't forget now to check for metal filings in the oil. I was told that Cannondale's big end bearing leaves much to be desired. Goodness, now if only I knew what that actually meant, what.
Best regards,
Brendal.
