Chain Lube
Hi All,
Just wondering what peoples preferences were for chain lube as I use sticky stuff which IS sticky but bloody messy. End up with black tar splattered over the back tyre, sprocket casings and side stand. |

Re: Chain Lube
I use Silkolene stuff, seems to work well, makes a small mess, nothing on the tyre though. Any lube that gets on the tyre is very dodgy indeed, I'd stop using that one, or use less of it maybe.

Re: Chain Lube
Silkolene-Pro full synthetic, find this much better (and cleaner) than their normal semi-synthetic. Only gives minor initial fling off, easy cleaned off with GT85 after first ride then good until next lube.

Re: Chain Lube
I have an aversion to spending money needlessly on chain & sprockets and applying lube every other day, so only one option.....scottoiler
