Default Cheap chain lube

It's bike week again at Aldi starting on March 30th. Jackets, gloves, trousers etc but also WD40 chain lube, wax or cleaner £2.99 for 200 ml.
Seems like a good price and I finished my Silkolene this morning.

I bought some last year, but haven't used it. I thought it looked messy compared to the usual brand I use.

Cheers, you can get some pretty good quality stuff from Aldi, I got gloves, base layer T shirt and base layer thermal leggings from there in the past. They have some decent tools as well (cheap enough to lend to others, knowing they never give stuff back, while you keep the good stuff for yourself).

Yeah. The base and mid layers look good. My thermals could do with replacing.
I ordered a couple of tins of the WD40 lube so I'll see what it's like.

I got my jacket and trousers from there last year. Superb quality and at a discounted price of £100 for the set. Kept me cosy all winter. The brand was Crane and they were made in Germany. Lots of armour and padding.
