adam1 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I use wurth dry chain lube and have done on all my bikes road, race or trials, best product on the Market in my opinion it's clean, no build up etc. I also use wd40 after a wash tho on the chain and other parts. WD40 could be used as a primary lube but as stated it would need a few applications in my opinion before riding and even then may not protect enough Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liviob Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Wurth dry chain lube must be a UK product as I have not seen it here in Colorado bike shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02-apr Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I have found that WD40 works well for my o-ring chain equipped trail bike, but on my non o-ring trials bike chain i use Repsol chain lube. I hold a rag under the chain to keep the excess oil off the wheel and swingarm during application and apply it a small section at a time until oiling the chain is complete. It dosent fling off and make a mess and lasts at least four 3 hour rides. It's good stuff. I used to use old gearbox oil (remember when we used to change the oil in car gearboxes)or old engine oil. It certainly worked a treat on my enduro bike, albeit an o-ring chain. I scoffed at the idea of using WD 40 but gave it a go and found that the chain and sprockets did not, in fact, wear out any quicker (but don't do road trials). But that was using a high quality chain costing a bit more than the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
