January 22, 200520 yr anyone recommend some good chain lube? not the dearest either just good value for money... I am using supagrease from poundland on mine at the moment. IT's a PTFE lube and against rockoil chainlube I'd chose the poundland stuff anytime. Just remember to oil up fairly frequently and as it's cheap you never mind doing a really through job. OH yesh and wipe underneath the chainguard as well I help it reduces weight a bit!
January 23, 200520 yr Admin Yeah i use the windsor wurth stuff, its excellent... but it still gets a little spray over my wheel unless im putting too much on though, but by far the best ive used out of about 4 that have been recommended to me
January 23, 200520 yr Just bite the bullet and buy a scottoiler they cost a few quid but makes life so much easier and theres no mess just keep an eye on the reservoir
January 23, 200520 yr anyone recommend some good chain lube? not the dearest either just good value for money... I agree with pete you cant go wrong with PJ1 blue
January 23, 200520 yr Moderator personally i use castrol WAX, not everyone's cup of tea but i like it
January 23, 200520 yr Moderator Bel-Ray......$8 for a Big can.....that has lasted me well over a year. TBH....I'd like to try some that Wurth though
January 24, 200520 yr Yeah the Wurth (Dry) chain lube is good because it doesn't fling, But my Chain is now rusty, it might just be me by not putting it on often enough, but i never have any problems with the lube i use to use ( yoshimoto - kin good chain lube) well my chain never rusted but that stuff does fling like fook I want to get a scottoiler but i'm a little worried about installing it.
January 24, 200520 yr Moderator Chain wax!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Â we dont need to go into it again do we
January 26, 200520 yr Moderator That's the type of reaction I've heard most people say about the stuff......but appearantly, it keeps the sand outta the chain pretty well on my friend's Banshee.
May 17, 200519 yr You know that stuff you drain out of your engine every couple of thousand miles......try that. Not only does it lube your chain, if it does fling off, its easier to clean up as it doesn't go rock hard like wax, and a bit of recycling aint a bad thing. I,ve used old engine oil for ages. You do have to lube more often, but its cheaper than the fancy waxes. Good quality gear oil is an alternative too.
June 15, 200519 yr hi, im new to this forum, my reccomendation for cheapness and effectiveness, is to buy a cheap second hand chain-oiler lube system from ebay, these can be run on standard engine oil, increases chainlife, just top up the bottle and away you go.. steve
