It may have been said already, but I didn't see it; don't use WD40 on your chain. The solvents in it will ruin your X or O-ring chain by destroying the seals. Use chain lube. The axels in the links are presealed, hence the -ring chain, but to lube the outside of the rollers and the sprockets, apply a light coat of gear oil or even wheel bearing grease. Avoid applying too much, it will get flung off.
