Ffs Do you go out of your way to find the most bizarre products that no one else ever uses WURTH DRY CHAIN LUBE
Hey, so I have tried Tru-Tension Bananaslip (bought it with the chain monkey, which I have to say I love because on the little Ducati as getting the chain tension right is a pain in the hole, and found it works well on the Honda too). The only real bonus is that it smells nice. I used the lube rather than the wax, and it goes on easy as it doesnt spray everywhere and so can be directed easily enough, is clear(ish) and is well priced. BUT, I also found that on the back roads, it seemed to let all the road grime stick to the chain, so the chain would need to be cleaned regularly before re-application. I also found that despite its claimed "non-flick" properties, I ended up with A LOT of sticky lumps being thrown up on to my rims and under-seat section (granted, I may have been rather to liberal with application?). Lastly, I usually do my chains on a Saturday. One week I did not, so it went two weeks without being cleaned/lubed, which would equal 250 miles of motorway and country lanes (50/50). After the two weeks, I could see rust starting to appear on the chain. I used it simply as it came with the tensioning tool as part of a bundle, and I really like the tool, but the lube I found a bit naff and it was donated away. Now, my DID chain recommends using a high quality mineral/gear oil. "Lubricant should be a mineral oil of good quality. It is important that the lubricant contains no dust or foreign substance. Never use waste oil." So that is what I now use. I always have good quality oil available for the bikes, and have found it to be far better and protecting the chain than any expensive lubes/wax options. Applied with a soft brush, leaves the chain looking like new. In fact, there is also this video that was done by FortNine which shows a test being done from several different options which might be useful. Certainly cemented my views on using oil as my first choice. Hope that helps!
No it wasn't. ..all Andrew said in a polite roundabout way was...tried it..it was shite..gave it away to some other sucker lol
