Question: are kmc chains pre lubed?
Answer: Last summer, Squirt Lube told us about a project with KMC to offer their chains pre-coated with Squirt's wax emulsion lube. They'd come raw and ungreased from the factory, soaked in Squirt, then packaged for end use. Why avoid the factory grease? ... The full nickel plating also contributes to chain longevity.
