What Chain Lube Do You Use?

[MattEnTheHat]

So this has almost certainly been discussed before, but I couldn't find it and the search function didn't help. If anyone can point me to a relevant thread, that would be great. Otherwise:

What do you all use to lube your chains?

 

[FastFreddy]

I tried a lot of them, some of them I threw out before the can was finished. (way waxy or way oily flingy)

I like PJ1 Blue label, its in between runny and claggy/too waxy.

PJ1 gives the clear chain look.

Motul clear for me.... this one sticks the best to the chain, initial ride after drying tends to fling ti the wheel but thats rhe case qith anything really...my only complaint which I guess I cant complain about is it is a p.I.t.a. to clean off the wheel if you don clean it often lol... cleans pretty easy off the chain with degreaser though

I use belray super clean.

I use wd-40 in an automatic luber...

There's a bloke in the same city as me who has used wd-40 for the life of his chains and regularly see 40-50,000miles.

Just remember it requires a frequent application

YamaLube [On Road Chain Lube] (purchased from the dealership)

It's only $8.00/can and I kind of figure they built the bike, they probably know what is best for the chain.

Just my two cents.

Maxima Gold Chain Wax

I use the same stuff, works great and no sling.

Automatic Transmission Fluid. It cleans the chain each time you apply it with an old shop rag. My chain looks brand new everytime I apply it. There isn't much fling and if you do get an excess, you used too much. I clean it about every tank of gas and it works great.

Dupont chain wax from walmart...but I don't do it regularly enough

I've been using the DuPont Teflon in the blue can with good results. I've seen others have been mentioning that the yellow can lasts longer. Un/fortunately the can lasts forever, so I haven't tried it out yet.

I use belray super clean.

I just got onto this one as well. It was recommended by the local shop here. I was always getting a dirty rear wheel the first ride after lubing the chain. The rims are gold and show dirt very easily. Cleaned the chain and switched to this lube, so far there's nothing on my rim.

I use a dupont chain wax, but it's a liquid. Works well, but thinking of switching to a spray, just easier to apply. I use WD40 to clean the chain. Need to do it this weekend actually. Have a tiny bit of surface rust on a few links, because I rode after it rained and roads were still a little bit wet. Should have cleaned and lubed afterwards, but I didn't. If forecast is close to correct only day it's forecast to rain next week is Tuesday so I can ride to work Monday and Wednesday-Friday. The rain seems non-stop. Snowed everyday this winter and now rain every day this spring. Grass looks good though. LOL

I use Belray super clean... but the name is misleading and does leave a bit of white residue. I had bought a few cans last year as filler in an online order to reach the free shipping threshold, but I may try something else once my last can is gone.

Lol, Western PA is no better. Grass does look good, but that just means I have to cut it more often. And I can think of at least one thing I'd rather be doing on the few nice days we do have...

Exactly. Hope we break out of this rain cycle soon. Rode to work 3 days last week and zero this week.

I thought this was good too, a little bit better than Motul factory line which was good as well but a touch more waxy in my opinion.

Just got some liquid wrench chain lube. Read some good reviews on it. Gonna wash her up and clean/lube chain on my relaxing/riding father's day. I'll review the liquid wrench after I get a few rides with the new lube.
