Do I lube or not

Brilliant idea but as the title says

lol - assuming the photo is a genuine representation, and judging by the drag marks on the sprocket, the concept appears resourceful.

Maybe usage is in a country with relaxed standards enforcement (or none at all), and duty is light?

Squeaky brakes are nerve-killing...also lube.... ;-)

Please note clip type chain link and installed in proper direction.

Minibikes back in the 60's and 70's used the drive sprocket for the brake rotor. They were cable operated, and about as efficient as Fred Flintstone brakes. They did work slightly better than the scrub brakes, when the scrub brakes were covered in mud and water. The scrub brakes pressed a pad against the tire when you stepped on the peddle.

Good to know!

What bike is this?

Brake sprockets are uncommon...

Not sure what the question is though?

Chain looks 'good enough' - rotor wear looks 'good enough' for old pads that may be grooved themselves...

If anything- are my eyes confusing me- or are the teeth worn in the wrong direction?

No question really just opinions maybe, its just a picture I found and having never seen this before thought if I had this setup on a bike would I lube the chain as normal and would it fling into the caliper and maybe run down the disc when parked.

Good point.... cross contamination didn't come to mind...as I was looking at the wear pattern.

I'd say a seal o-ring chain would be good enough, no lube.

Even on an X or O ring chain I lube it. You want to lube the sprocket/chain interface, and the links themselves. I brush on 90wt gear oil.
