Chain lube

(1/3) > >>

JezzaPeach:
Prompted by suggestions in florence’s post I can highly recommend Castrol “Chain Lube Racing” or similar products.
I’m not sure if it has wax or lithium but once dried it doesn’t fling off as easily as oil and doesn’t seem to attract as much build up of deposits, particularly in my road bike gears.

fogrider:
It's a good tip to apply chain lube straight after a ride, while the chain is warm. It lets it run into the links easier. Next ride it has fully dried on and less likely to fling.
Bought some cheap chain lube once and this was the only way I could use it.

Laverda Dave:
I second the Castrol chain wax, great product and doesn't fling.
I always apply a quick squirt directly after getting home and before the bike goes back into the garage. The Castrol wax never drips onto the floor once applied.

MrDavo:
I just ordered some, as I want something that doesn’t get chucked all over my new Z1A. Thanks for the info.

JezzaPeach:
Good tip on doing after a ride. Many thanks.
