which lube?
I know this has been posted a few times, but things change and new products come to market.
Yesterday I lubed the bike with Holts Universal Chain Lube (green snotty stuff apparently anti-fling), but rather than spary it I applied it with a brush. Chain looked nice and well lubed, because I brushed it on I was hoping to avoid chain fling..............how wrong could I have been. The bike I spent hours cleaning yesterday is now covered in slimy gunk. So is there a better non-fling lube or should I just put up and shut up, it is a commuter after all so the chain being lubed is the most important thing?

Re: which lube?
I had a scott oiler on the SV and it worked a treat, but there is nowhere to mount it on the new ride.
How often do you apply it DD? Hows the recovery fella? |

Re: which lube?
Wurth Dry Lube. We use it on Liz's Duke as it doesnt have a Scotoiler. Doenst fling hardly at all. Give it a try.
Just remember to give the can a good shake before you spray it on the chain.

Re: which lube?
I use PJ1.
This stuff is super sticky, if you get it on your hands you can feel just how sticky it is. I apply quite alot of it as I'm over cautious with chains after my friends snapped nearlly killing him. I get next to no fling at all. Brilliant stuff and can recommend it.

All bike chains have Orings as far as I'm aware, there would be no point in lubing otherwise
