wurth dry chain lube (again)

[fizzwheel]

Kwak, if you're going to do that you might as well get a ScottOiler, setup right it wont fling that much and the oil comes off really easily if it does fling.

I've used worth dry chain lube but now I'm on bike it or something.
My mate used to boil his in a cocktail of oils...

So what's between the rollers and the sprockets, scotch mist? The lube is there for a number of reasons, to preserve the O rings, to lubricate between the rollers and pins, to lubricate between the rollers and sprockets and to prevent the chain from corroding. Dry lube cannot do all of this because it does not move around, the only way to properly lube a chain is to have the correct grade of oil fed onto it keeping the whole chain slightly wet. A dry chain will overheat, corrode and wear, that's simple science for you

I have been using Wurth dry lube for about 6 months and 4k. My chain now makes a terrible noise Im thinking of changing but i dont want something thats gonna go everywhere.

Another vote for a scottoiler then. No fuss, just does the job.

dont know why but the word scottoiler makes me think of baphs back wheel

even though you're being a grumpy old sod i'll take time to explain it to you

why do you think the rollers are called rollers? because they roll perhaps? the rollers roll around the pins in the chain links, they are lubricated internally. there's no need for a lubricant between the rollers and the sprockets because there's no movement of one over the other

In a modern O-Ring chain you're not lubing the rolling action of the chain but protecting the O-rings themselves from friction and particulate damage

i take my apology humble with a side of grovelling thanks

Seriously Daz, a quick 2 minute wipe over with WD40 and a rag every couple of weeks is all my regularly used SV needs to keep the rear wheel looking clean. Scottoilers are worth every penny.

You need some sort of therapy then, cos they are so worth it. They do such a good job too, and you just bung it on and it does all the work, happy happy happy things they are!!!

Hope this worked.

yea the word scottoiler now makes me think loving things
