GT85 Evil?

[psmiffy]

I use WD40

ditto - i use it on tour - when it rains a bit of WD40 to clean the crud off - followed by a sparing application of finishline wet in the evening or later in the day

GT85 every ride? Relube the chain whenever it rains?
People, people, people...*shakes head sadly*
Get some decent chain lube, and Mickle every few weeks / months.
I'm shocked at you all. I'm not cross, just very, very disappointed.

and i have had stunning results with the cheapest B&Q chainsaw oil for lubing the chain.

Does it not pick up loads of dirt and turn into grinding paste?

Mickle is on holiday. Lying in the darkness of a static caravan near Rhyl listening to the wind. I dont' care about you lot's chains right now.

nope it has a anti pick up content , well thats what it says on the tin. if you mickle it properly then there isn't a lot of oil anyway

...and if you put your bike on a turbo trainer you can use it to chop up firewood.

you could even , theoretically for a few minutes at least, cycle on the firewood

That's pretty sexy! I also like those bamboo MTB frames.

in addition to spraying with GT85 every time I go out (as in out on the bike...........) I use a Park Tool chain cleaner with their biodegradable cleaning fluid every month or so.

I have 13 cans of the stuff at home. Is that wrong?

 

[dellzeqq]

you always were a slippery customer.....

+1 Since the beginning of the year I have been using chainsaw oil and like it a lot so far.

I find it attracts less dirt than other oils that I've used, which is good as I often ride on muddy lanes and unsurfaced tracks. It also seems to capillary well into the insides of the chain and stays put once it is in there.

I use gt 85/ wd 40 to clean the chain the re lube with chain oil every week, seems to work for me .
