Wet and Dry Lube - What are you using?

[Drago]

Haemorrhoid cream.

 

[DCLane]

Interflon Dry in the summer, Finish Line Ceramic wet in the winter.

Chainsaw Chain Oil

This, I mixed mine with mineral oil to reduce viscosity, but suspect the ratio of mineral oil needs reducing. It works very well and doesn’t get washed out at the first hint of rain.

See the reviews. I rate it too. Quietens, runs smooth, doesn’t attract dirt. Winner….👌

I don't use dry lube.

Hypoid oil on the chain.

Haven't we been here before? Many times, and recently at that?

Hey I checked the first page on this sub forum and the closest I could find was "dirty chain". If a cycle home mechanic sub-forum isn't for discussing chain lube, then what's the point? 😂

GT85 winter, summer, any old time of the year. That said I'm retired and actually find bike cleaning therapeutic so my bike gets cleaned thoroughly after every ride. I do 3 x 3 hour rides a week so cleaned three times a week. It looks and feels the same every ride, pretty much. However, I've got a pub bike too and that doesn't get cleaned anything like as much. Keep it dirty and hopefully no one will nick it but it's still sprayed with GT85.

I do my own oil and filter changes on car and motorbike. There's always some left-over oil. That gets used on bike chains. Pour a little onto a cloth, run chain through cloth, run chain through another cloth to get rid of any excess oil. Job done.

Normally I use Finish Line wet, but sometimes I turn to my trusted----

Back in July. This was my recommendation then:

Probably even older. I found it in my old dad's shed when we cleaned his effects out 7 years back. I believe I bought it from Oscrofts Cycles in Friern Barnet when I still lived at home, and I moved out 46 years ago.

Haemorrhoid cream.

Dry or Wet 🤔

Drip Wax (Tru Tension BananaSlip or Squirt) a lot less hassle than full wax to setup but has a lot of the benefits, principally everything is cleaner and things last longer.

See photo. Very pleased with this item BUT I only ride my bikes when there’s no sign of rain so I cannot vouch for how good it may or not be in wet conditions.
Bought at a favourable price too, £5.50 for this 125 ml size.
