Wax or Lube

What do you use on your chain?

I've tried many. Thought WD 40 Lube was good - flies off everywhere.

Using PowerMaxed at the moment. Very good, but have had some fling, but I'm not sure if I might have applied too much:

My fall back is always Wurth, (which was recommended to me on this forum and features in MCN Chain Lube review:

Wurth High Performance Dry Chain Lube.
Absolutely no fling. Great product.
If you're winter commuting on the bike though I'd use something a bit more robust just for those months. Not a fan of wax I think it collects crap sticking to your chain.

 

Ah, yeah. It was you who recommended Wurth to me.

I hadn't considered the gaining muck effect of the wax on chains. Valid point! Gather no muck on my legs though.

 

Yeah it was something I hadn't thought about but a few years ago I read an article on the grit and muck it attracts that's then whizzing round on your chain!

 

Worth do a wax and haven’t had any fling so far also doesn’t get to gunky like some normal wet lube

 

I wondered about their wax...was a bit loathe to buy it in case it was messy but might try it if it's not attracting muck too much or flinging
Their lubes great but I'm constantly re applying it in winter

 

I use Wurth Wax on mine. No slinging so far!

 

Is this post about bikes. Or is it to see how many times we can get Lozzy to write the word LUBE

 

80/90 gear oil

 

If you ask me nicely I'll post of a video up of me saying it verrry slowly

 

Certainly one of the cheaper options.

Not as silly as it sounds; it's worked in industry for hundreds of years albeit with lower rotation speeds.

 

Würth dry chain lube for me, always put it on after a ride and never had any fling what so ever. Best stuff I've found

 

many years ago a friend of mine worked at David Brown Gears, in Huddersfield.
He used to use some treacley stuff from work on his chain and his chain used to last forever.

 

Sdoc 100 white is the best I've come across.

Not being a smart-arse (for a change) but is it really white? I ask because of my white wheels.

 

Yep. Almost like that white lithium grease stuff.

 

Always used chain lube Motul Factory line
Throws leftovers always.. Always after brushing my wheels.

Do you have this one Wurth?
