[Closed] Chain Lubes

Prolink chain lube here. Its oil but seems to dry almost like dry lubes so pretty well no build up. Lasts well even in wet Scottish conditions

Putoline chain wax here - wipe it off the outside of the chain and the chain statys clean - last a long time in the rollers. I am lubing my chain monthly not every ride and chain life is a lot longer

I'm currently using my free sample of Squirt wax lube, only done a couple of rides with it so far and it has been reasonably dry, but first impressions are good.

Chain stays clean and it feels nice and smooth and runs quietly. Out tomorrow n it's likely to be damp around the trails so will see how it gets on with a bit of mud and wet grit!

TJ, you forgot to mention that you have to put it in a special pot, simmer for 1 hour, then put the chain in and baste every 5 mins for another hour

Juice lubes.There chain lube is excellent in wet weather

Just been into Warrington. Ann Summers are doing free lube with selected toys.

Its not quite as bad as that Capt - but it is a messy faff no doubt.

I use Purple Extreme on my mtb and road bike. It lasts well, even in the wonderful Isle Of Man weather.

You can get it from CRC

I use Purple Extreme and its alright but quite thin so in the wet I find it washes out. Also use Finish Line Wet and find, like jools, it makes the chain all black and gunky. Will be following this thread for other suggestions.

What TJ says re a messy faff is correct but it is also super stuff. I took TJ's advice [did I admit that or just whisper it inside my own head 😕 ] and it works a treat. I dont mind doing maintenance but not at end of a ride at 10 PM in rain.

I use pedros atb lube in the winter and road rage in the summer. Both clean off well and are biodegradable. I'm one of those people who keeps their bike spotless though.
