Marine Grade Chain Lube

[veeeffarr]

Any good for bikes?

Never heard of it, but if it is what i am guessing it is then NO. It is designed to be sticky and keep out water, but at very slow speed. Chances are it will throw off.

i used to use spray on grease, but it would only cover the bits i had actually managed to point my nozzle at and spray

i took a leaf out of kickstarts book and started using old engine oil, and it worked its way all over the chain to protect better

i still use a bit of spray grease on the chain rollers, but regular oiling is good as you dont have the problem of missing a bit as the oil will get to the bits you missed

I've got a mate who can get hold of some.

It's for extremely fast moving chains.

If you worked it into the links of the chain, it'd do a great job just do it regularly and make sure its degreased before re application

I've read so much crxp about chain lube especialy in Ride.

I buy a can from Morrisons for £1 and have had no problems.

People can go quite anal on things.

I've just had a new chain and sprocket kit fitted and they sprayed on some dry chain lube, does anyone know if its any good?

Its not like oil its more of a sticky substance.

I'm just worried i'm going to kill my new chain if its not lubricated properly.

Cheers

Wurth is what I've been using. I'm clueless so I just bought what the guy in the bike shop recommended. Interested by the engine-oil suggestion though. Might give it a go. Is it a pain to apply?

[colin1]

i use a pop bottle with engine oil and pour a bit on the chain while rotating the back wheel by hand when bike is on a paddock stand

i think kickstart does it with the engine driving the back wheel while on a paddock stand but i dont fancy that

might be ok if you have one of those oil cans with a long stem tho

your chain wont look pretty like the ones that have clear wax (which is more suitable for dry weather)

kickstart reckons that waxs turn into a grinding paste as they accumalte grit etc, while oil just flings it off

it does mean you have to lube the chain more than you would if you just used spray on grease or wax, but the chain looks healthier to me for it particulalrly the links and side plates

I once used the stuff we had at work for the overhead conveyors. If the stuff you've been offered is anything like it then don't bother. The stuff was like really thick tar when it set. It was so sticky the chain ended up covered in gravel.

I now use stuff mean't for motocross bikes. I brought it by mistake once but found it did a good job as long as you give it time to set otherwise it sticks to the bike panels and tyre.

Christ you tight bastard, a can of lube is only a fiver!

I would say stick to the bike stuff, it is desgined for use on motorbike chains so be better than anything else.
