what chain lube

[Mr Haematocrit]

What chain lube do you use on your MTB and why?
I this the same chain lube that you use on your road bikes?

 

[numbnuts]

You won't like what I use, and YES it is a lubricant

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

My guess then would be Butter or chainsaw oil

Nah that'd be me Mr H, and a bloody good job it does too

IIRC numbnuts is a die hard advocate of a certain aerosol propelled product whose name is made up of the characters D04W, although not necessarily in that order

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

D04W

I get the chainsaw oil make total sense but D04W and more

I know that Numbnuts take a bit of stick over his choice of lubricant, but people can't argue that it works for him, which in the final analysis is what it is all about.

 

[fossyant]

Depends upon conditions. I tend to use a wet lube for the winter. If it's dusty and sandy, then you may want a dry lube

same here across all of my bikes mountain, road or tourer!

I have been using White Lightening Clean Ride after a recommendation on here from VamP and someone else. Its great stuff for this time of year and doesn't hold on to mud/sludge.

Will be buying something different for the summer months.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Extra Virgin Olive Oil in winter. Beeswax in summer.

Be serious. Chalice will slop it everywhere.

That's what the platinum drip tray is for .

 

[GrumpyGregry]

It is, indeed, a light lubricant. and marketed as such. It does after all contain 15% light mineral oil.

But I can't abide the smell.

With lark powered recirculating pump?
