Best way to lubricate none O ring bike chains question?

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

My chain was replaced and was ittle used when I purchased the 500 from Bryan.
I have removed the light surface rust, after cleaning I have sprayed it with some chain lubricant that I have on my shelf it's a black coloured foam type grease called "IZUMI" Racing Japan that was given to me.

I have read online about a product called Putoline Chain Wax - not cheap but it sounds a neat idea to heat it up so the lubricant fully penetrates the rollers etc.

What do members here recommend as a good lubricant?

Ted, take a look at www.chainmate.co.uk

This product was designed by a friend of mine to answer the question “how do I spray chainlube in my chain without getting it all over the back of my bike?”

He maintains that it’s not so much which chainlube you use as how often you use it and how effectively you apply it.

I designed and run his webshop so I know that our bikes don’t appear in his bike finder list, but it would be simple enough for him to add them.  He has adapted his products for Norton Commandos and (old) Tridents.

I don’t get anything from his sales, but he does pay hosting fees.

Steve.

Thumbs up for the Putoline chain wax, I use it on my Commando.
Brush the chain off with petrol first then dry and boil it with a camping gaz stove in my garage.
Hang up to cool off and set the wax and your good to go.

Chainmates a clever idea, but on my F1 that runs an O ring chain, I stuff a bit of cardboard box up between the main stand and wheel to prevent over spray mess. Costs nowt...

Oh, BTW is it not the norm to apply chain lub on the inner run of the chain so the oil is flung out thru the chain when in operation?
