Chain Lube That Doesn't Paint The Rear Wheel!

Post by alexwitham »

Is there any?

I have lovely condition white rims and i seem to spend ages with a toothbrush every sunday getting the chain oil off my wheel!

Anybody recommend a good Lube?

Wurth dry chain lube :up: i wouldnt use anything else, been using it for years and it does a top job with very little mess. I ran out a while ago and used some silkolene lube i had sitting in the garage and im still trying to clean all the gunk from my wheels/swingarm/shock etc

my castrol chain wax just ran out, I've heard good things about wurth. i'll try it if I can find it.

I've thought of making a bottom chain guard to stop all the crap flying off the chain onto the rim, but its a long way off even planning it.

I find GT80 is shit hot for getting chain lube off your wheels and frame. I use it religiously :grin:

The trick is to adjust your chain and apply lube AFTER and not before you go for a ride and leave it overnight so it has time to stick properly to the chain
