Default Lube chain with ease
For two years, I've had my girlfriend sit on my bike and back it down the driveway while I spray the chain with lube. Recently I bought a bike jack for around a $100 and it's SOOOOO much nicer!!!!! Slide the jack under, pump it three times with the foot pedal so the rear tire is one inch off of the ground and the bike is balanced on the front tire, the kickstand and the jack, and then spin the tire while I spray. Press the release pedal and slide it out and I'm done. Wish I would have bought it two years ago!!!

I just bought a Craftsman jack for that very reason! I haven't used it yet, though. I plan to lube my chain this week, though, and give it a try.

I bet your hubby is saying "my woman has her own bike, her own jack and lubes her own chain! Ah... Life is good."
