what do you put on your chain.

[markharry66]

Being of the lazy I have been using wd40 I realise this is not the best option I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions as to what to put on their chain having recently just somthered a new set of cycle shoes in wd40 I wondered how often you lube up the chain.

Muc off wet or dry lube depending on the season.Frequency depends on how often riding the bike and how it’s running

 

[mickle]

MucOff dry lube all year round.

Different strokes for different folks.

Weldtite TF2 for me

I clean my bikes after every ride but I have the time because I'm retired. I keep the chain clean from crap and when it's clean I use GT85 and if the weather's really wet I'll give it an occasional oiling. I wipe off any excess. It's worked for me over the years.

All glory to the immersive wax..

WD40 but not sprayed directly onto the chain. Instead, I spray into a rag and then use that to wipe the chain.

Sometimes I put wet or dry lube on afterwards - depends how bothered I am.

currently using aldi or lidl chain lube from when they had it in stock , wet lube for the commuter and dry lube for the weekend bike .

It really doesn't matter.

Lubed when necessary = good

Everything else is second order. WD40 is fine - I use Wet Lube in the hope it'll last a bit longer, but honestly, I don't think it really does much. One wet commute = relubing necessary.
