Chain oil / wax

Anybody recomend a good oil or wax for the chain.
I intend to get a scotoiler fitted in the near future but for now will have to settle for doing it myself.

I have used both Muc-off and Wurth in the past an found them fine...I prefer the Wurth stuff tho as it seemed to fling less....

Wurth .. the one and only

Why scotoiler? R u doing so many miles all weather? How long will you keep the bike for? Not worth it IMOO.

Planing on keeping it for quite a while as yet.
Doing about 80-100 mile a day monday to friday with some small ish rides in the evenings once or twice a week and weekends can be nothing or 200 mile+.

Scottoiler is ideally what you want then IMHO.

Another vote for the Wurth dry lube till you get it installed. Personally I hate chain wax. looks cack and it goes everywhere. If the mechanic that services my bike puts chain wax on my chain again I am going to rip his nads off.

With that mileage I think you can justify the Bl00dy scotoiler, even so it hurts me to say that

Is that not a little bit extreme?


Thanks for the advice guys, off to find some Wurth.

What do you have against Scottoilers?

Not much mate. But they are relatively expensive and as majority of people do only few thousand miles each year I think it is difficult to justify the cost. Buy a bike, keep it for 2 years, do 4k over two summers ... you cannot justify the cost can you?

And they take a lot of valuable room under you seat too.

Otherwise great. If I bought a bike with one on I would leave it on. So it is not personal

I thought that was supposedly the disadvantage of the Scottoiler????
Having silver wheels fling off shows big time.
I've always heard you need black wheels to fit a Scottoiler.

Can one have both a Scottoiler and clean wheels???
