There was a guy just a few days ago that said kerosene was bad for o-rings. I'm not sure were he got that from and I don't believe it. WD-40 is Water Displacement version 40. It's lubrication properties aren't supposed to be good. There are those who say to use it after the chain is run in the rain then use chain lube. I've been using DuPont Multi-Purpose Teflon Lubricant for pushing 2000 miles. Absolutely no grimey crud build up. No sling anywhere, it is totally dry to the touch after about half an hour. Wipe off with a kerosene rag every so often and hit it with another coat. The proof will come with how long the chain and sprockets last. I'm getting to the point if you keep the grime off you may not need any chain lube because the sprockets and chain will go bad in about the same time as if you used chain lube. I'll swear the Bel-Ray and PJ1 I used to use just created a paste that ate the chain and sprockets faster.
