Fair enough/understood.
In scouting out a route for my son to commute to a new work location I took a route that had us on a "way too busy" section. Thankfully it was short, but we both instantly knew it was never to be repeated.
I have an Ororo heated vest and love it. I never seem to need anything more than the lowest setting, so the battery always lasts for an entire ride.
Not sure I'd like being wired/tethered to the bike though.
I use Squirt lube, and it is wax based.
At this point I have over 7000kms/4400mi and the chain measures under .5
I cannot really say it's the lube, my riding/shifting style or what but I'll take it!
