New chain lube method

So, came across this today.

It is basically a block of graphite in a holder. Lasts about 3600 miles or so. It is kinda expensive but is a neat idea. No more cleaning of chains or having to use sticky lube that gets everywhere.

A homebrew of something like this would be really cool.

Essentially, it is a block of graphite that is in continuous contact with the chain. You basically adjust it to have a certain pressure I think and then it just goes till used up.

The company has only certain models but someone will the time and materials could probably fashion 1 up with little trouble.

It's a dry lube so dirt and other crap won't stick to it.
