Re: not another chain lube thread...
https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/mot...ent_prod/29605
Giving this Wurth dry lube a try, good reviews and got good write up in MCN. Wynns clearlube was OK but it did tend to fling a bit... I used to live next door to a lubrication engineer and they tended to recommend dry lube ( dry molybdenum disulphide ) on chains used in dirty and aggressive environments. £10 for 500ml is pretty good, should last me maybe 2 years ...

Re: not another chain lube thread...
I think the once I worked out it was cheaper when riding all year round 20k per annum that it was cheaper for me to just wear the chain out with little or no lube and pay for a new chain and sprockets. Than it was to keep buying various fancy lubes...

Re: not another chain lube thread...
Cheaper still if you just lube it with old engine oil every few rides. And the chain lasts longer.

Although one could argue it might have been worth the investment in a scot oiler or equivalent. |
