Recommend a decent chain lube???

[chris1980]

Hi
Can anyone recommend a good chain lube other than weldtite tf2 all weather, this stuff washes off really quicky and im having to reapply it every 3-4 days when the weather is crap. Cheers Chris

I have always used this.

If you drip it on to the rollers with a syringe (rather than squirting it all over the place from the bottle) , you can oil a ten-speed chain with less than 1.5 mL.

This is the stuff I've been using for the past few months without issues.

Been through snow and heavy rain without it coming off, it drips out nicely too so you don't squirt it everywhere.

Never understood the label on the Muc-Off oil..... "Ideal for Chains, Cables, Shifters, Deraileurs, Pedals &Cleats" ... Cleats am I supposed to oil my Cleats now??

I use that Finish Line stuff.

I was using Joe's wet chain lube but I found my chain would go rusty on rainy days, even when well lubed. That's not been a problem with the FL stuff.

As for the clippy pedals, I blast them out with GT85 once a fortnight or so, which seems to keep them happy.

TF2 oil just makes a black oily grindy mess, although it did seem good at keeping the rust at bay.

Anti-fling chain saw oil, about 4 quid for a litre.

Can someone please tell me how to get the lid off this:

I have absolutely no idea. Do I cut the little lump at the top? Pull the lid off?
I have tried to unscrew it but nothing happens.

(carefully) slice the wee bump off

I use Finish Line, I have the wet and the dry but tend to use the wet as its meant to stand up better to the rain. It seems to last quite a while, on my bike and 3 lesser used bikes. They aren't super cheap compared to generic oils, but I'm probably getting over a year per tiny bottle

Probably have to cut the nipple off the top, I expect you need to cut that little cap off the side too

Yep.

I norm use a stanley knife.

That just pops off.
Thanks anyway. Will try it tomorrow.

I think that when I have finished this bottle of lube, I will move over to dry lube. It seems to be cleaner.

Think im gonna try finish line wet lube next, cant beleave how many brands of chain lube and types their is. Its more difficult than choosing car oil
