Default Wurth dry chain lube.. what?

So goes to spray on said product, but it is very wierd

is it supposed to knock the cack off that was on the chain, and also not seem to have lubricated the chain at all? Its called dry chain lube, but i'm used to green sticky stuff so its all abit new to me

has it gone on correctly and how do you know when to top up? just on mileage?

I tried it for a whole can's worth. Really didn't get on with it. Chain was bone dry within 50 miles of application each time. Didn't inspire confidence at all so I'm back to non-fling wax.

use it on my DRZ, personally not had problems with it but i followed the instructions

1. Clean chain, i use Wurth Brake / Chain cleaner, get t as clean and dry as you can

2. Go for a ride, 20mins, get the chain nice and warm

3. When you get back, quickly wipe the chain over to get the remaining, now less solid, crap off

4. While the chain is warm apply the lube along the length from both sides

As i said, never had a problem, doesn't seem to pick up dirt or crap and certainly doesn't spit lube all over the wheel like the scottoiler on my SV

Use this stuff myself around every 3/400 miles(others may do so more often)seems right enough.

I use it too, and do find that you have to shake the can for a few mins to allow all the ingredients to loosen up inside the can

Use the wurth stuff for gold chains in summer. Chain cleaned weekly.

I'm going to back to Kalgard tacky oily nastiness for winter.

Plus my SV no longer has a goldie. (The shame)

Wurth Dry Chain Lube is Ace. I don't let anything else touch my chain (apart from profi dry chain lube which is similar but better).

Its meant to feel dry - thats the whole point. It will dry within 2 mins of application leaving an ultra low friction coating all over the chain. There is no gooey crap to fling off all over your bike, or to attract dirt or grit.

If you spray it onto a dirty chain, you will find that it will shift alot of the crap off it, but you're best off giving it a good clean first with parafin and a cloth or toothbrush. To get the best from dry lubes, u need to get rid of all remnents of your old nasty sticky goo before the first application of dry lube. Once the chain is clean and regularly coated with wurth or profi dry chain lube it just won;t get dirty again as no crap can stick to it.

Re-apply every few hundred miles and immeadiately after riding in the rain or washing the bike. The chain will rust very quickly if you don't re-apply when the chain gets wet.

I apply it every 300 miles, and after the bikes monthly wash. I usually clean the chain with parafin once a month too, but it doesn't really seem to need it now that i use dry lube.
