dylankeyter Posted November 14, 2007 Share what lubricant do you use? I have used everything and i find it all picks up grit. i am using motor oil at the moment which i find works an absolute treat, but does pick uo alot of dirt, on my road bike.

Red Zone Posted November 14, 2007 Share Motor Oil is a disaster, pics up loads of dirt which will erode your drivetrain. Use a cycling specific product. I use squirt, works great, also had good results with White lightning. You also need to keep the chain clean, and reapply regularly, overapplication will also get dirty.

E1A104 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Must disagree, think squirt is the largest load of shyte I have ever used on my chain. I'm using the Motorex stuff at the moment and works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Daemon_ Posted November 14, 2007 Share Squirt on a mtb works great, but not so much on a roadbike, prefer White Lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alida Posted November 14, 2007 Share White Lightning - I wash my bike once a week and then lube once its dry. That's it - works ok for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylankeyter Posted November 14, 2007 Share wats the biggest bottle of squirt you can get from a bs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linnega Posted November 14, 2007 Share Gone back to using plain old oil and is working fine. Probably better than Squirt. You don't need much and it keeps the drivetrain quiet. Have ridden in dust, rain and mud recently and not had any issues. Wax based lubricants don't seem to handle the wet that well. On the MTB I replace the lube after washing my bike as the chain gets washed at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
