liam87 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) Just wondered which chain lube people use and what you think is best. I've had morris's aerosol which was quite runny and most seemed to fly off the chain and end up caped around the rear sprocket and wheel. I'm currently using some castrol aerosol which seems to be better but still doesn't last that long and tends not to stick to the chain as well. Which is the stuff that's white when its sprayed on? It looks better quality and really seems to bind to the chain. Cheers for any suggestions. Edited January 26, 2008 by Liam87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gez Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I think your refering to castrol chain wax, which I use to use good in the way it sticks and protects the chain externally in muddy conditions, but when sprayed it,s not runny enough to lube the rollers. I,m now using wurth dry lub, this gets into the links then dries so you would,nt think you had any on. Only problem is your proberly find it about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swooshdave Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Most report that good old WD-40 works as good as anything! I might use WD-40 to clean the chain but I wouldn't rely on it for the lube. Some (like me) use a chain wax and then maybe clean the chain thoroughly once in a while. I've heard of others that clean the chain (remove and boil in oil) after each ride. It all depends... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjbiker Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Try some of THIS if you like splashing out. Ride magazine tests are normally pretty in depth so if they reckon it's a best buy then I'd believe them. As for me, I'll just stick to WD 40, lashings of it and very frequently ( I even carry a small tin with me whilst trialing ). Buy it by the gallon and use it for everything. Even a night out ! Smells better than Old Spice ! GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_king Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hey I use WD40 to dispel the water and help clean the chain after a ride. But to lube it up I use Bel Ray or Silkolene as i find both work very good. But many people have different experiences with chain lube, i like Bel Ray but others hate it. You pay your money and take your choice. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
