wurth dry chain lube (again)

we had this debate about which chain lube is best recently, well ive been using this wurth dry stuff for a while now and my chain is rattling and sounding like theres no lube on it at all? i dont like the sound tbh and am thinking of changing back to pj1 which i used to use, anyone else had this?

Nope its been fine on the chain on Liz's Duke.

How often are you applying the lube to it ?

The words 'dry' and 'lube' don't go together, simple as that. Get a Scottoiler on it and just clean it more often if that sort of thing floats your particular boat. A properly set up oiler doesn't create much mess anyway.

well because of it sounding dry i'm sticking loads on.

I found it goes on better if you lube it after a run. I.e when the chains warm.

Knowing you this is a daft question, but what sort of state is your chain in, i.e is it nice and clean ?

oh yes! its clean.

Don't know then. If you're not happy with it, then change for something else.

i like the clean ness off the dry stuff so aslong as its doing its job i'll keep using it.

the "lube" is only there to keep the o-rings alive, not to lubricate the chain and sprockets, that's all behind the o-rings...

if the chain isn't stretching or generally binding then it's doing it's job, if it sounds dry that's because it is, the clue is in the "dry lube" bit

the best my rear wheel has ever run was when i soaked my chain in car engine oil, it virtually ran friction free! this was noticeable alot upon riding the bike but it did fling everywhere as expected! it seemed to clean the chain well too, i might try that again.
