Using Spray 'n Cook as chain lube

[Red Bird]

Just saw it advertised on Expresso. Very unconventional.

on expresso, must be a true story.  those people KNOW everything

will probably also make a shimano 9 speed chain last forever on a XX1 setup

How long do you want the chain to last?

[Amberdrake]

Not for my chain thx

I like to run it dry the grinding is therapeutic.

Tried that while camping once. Didn't end well. Was a long walk home with jammed up drivetrain. Every grain of sand sticks to the chain and soon becomes like a big fat slug

Have used spray n cook in emergency. Very good chain lube but overspray is a problem and can be messy. It's high quality lube suitable for high temperature.

 

Also try casida food grade spray on lube

I've got some coconut spray, it's a bit to expensive to try on my chain but should work I think..

Have stopped at a garage during a ride to scrounge a few drops of oil from empty oil cans before. Motor oil probably a better chain lube than anything else in a pinch and its ubiquitous.

What is it with these strings? Or is it Friday in December?

 

I have an amazing suggestion.

 

How about using this new fangled stuff called chain lube on chains, or is that a revolutionary idea?

Use dipstick oil for an emergency lube.

I thought it was about what do you do when you're out there and suddenly realise you left the chain lube at home....and your chain is screeching for attention.

If you were bear grylls you could pee pee on it.....

I prefer to use smooth peanut butter on my chain. Sure there's a bit of chain suck but it's biodegradable and if I put too much on I can just lick it off. Or something.

did you see what that chain looked like they had on expresso this morning???? it was nearly rusted solid! I'm now a firm believer in spray and cook. I mean...to make a chain like that work sweetly again!  I will however only use it should my chain also land up looking like that.
