Have you ever ridden to work in the rain only to find that your trusty bike bike developed a squeaky chain during the 8 hours you've been toiling away? Chains can rust out if they aren't cared for, especially after a soaking. But a lot of us don't want the hassle of carryng around bottles of chain lube either. Our tip: repurpose a perfume sample vial... the kind that has a tiny sprayer, and fill it with your chain lube. Tiny enough to throw in your repair kit and contains enough product for a full application.
