I see people with immaculate looking chains. How do they do that while lubing their chain? I've been using a spray on 'dry' chain lube. It goes on white and then goes a bit gunky. How are you guys doing it?
I just leave it. I have a Gold Renthal chain so occasionally will use peak or autosol on the side that shows.
Don’t use the bike, instead keep it next to a radiator in your lounge. Works for some from what I can gather.
I've just come across these offers: https://www.aldi.co.uk/wd40-motorbike-chain-wax/p/008339266695002 https://www.aldi.co.uk/wd40-motorbike-chain-lube/p/008339266694801 https://www.aldi.co.uk/wd40-motorbike-chain-cleaner/p/008339252545000 Just in case anyone is interested
I use the WD40 chain wax from Aldi, it comes in quite a small aerosol so i buy 3 at a time, cheap as chips and does a good job IMO.
I use the chain wax.. it does cover the chain in white stuff which does eventually disappear.. am i supposed to wipe it off?
I copied your setup couple of months ago, added a fine sleve at the end of the gutter to pre-filter the fluid. Where can I send the "copyright" fee?
Hey mate, People rave about this stuff so I bought a couple tins and used it once and never again, Ive still the 2 tins and it wont be going on my bikes, Done about 50 miles after spraying the chain and the chain looked just dry and all the rollers looked like they had been heated as in a blue/ purple colour, Imho the stuff is garbage or am I missing something?? This is all I use now, Great stuff https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XCP-Moto...852657&hash=item5d6a090a8c:g:k~AAAOSw7ApZ16i9
I've been using it for donkeys years (as have my friends), never had any issues at all. Even use it on my cycles.... I remember seeing it win some magazine tests as the best all round chain lube.
I use Paraffin to clean it and then brush gear lube on it. I normally leave it overnight then wipe it off. Short run clean up anything else and then you are good to go.
