Chain Care

Tried that for a while. Rubbing some oil between fingertips it did seem to have a slipperier feeling than motor oil / 3-in-1-type oil, felt more like Finish Line Green.

I found it quite messy though, worse than the FL at picking up muck.

Try Squirt Lube. Biodegradable wax.

Google for retailers but be warned, search for 'squirtlube' not 'squirt'. Definitely not the same stuff at all

Motorbike chain lube/wax .... Very good and better than bicyle chain lube IMHO ... £4.99 a can

I use beeswax to make it a bit softer and stickier.

Where do you get the beeswax?

Bee's.
Well you did ask!

I'll get me coat on the way out.

I get all the stuff (including beeswax) for my homebrew mixture from ebay sellers.

I've got reservations about dry lubes and their lack of mobility but that sounds worth a go at a fiver!

Anyone tried this chain wax spray.

"A fantastic lithium based chain wax.
It's non fling action firstly penetrates the chain in a liquid form then gets thicker in minutes protecting and lubricating the chain."

£3.25 for a 400ml can.
