Which lube?

[youngoldbloke]

Progold Prolink, one drop on each chain roller - use a syringe or a 'Luber' - all year round.

Without question, simply the best lube on the market

 

[Supersuperleeds]

+1 this is simply the best lube I have ever used.
Lasts a long time on the chain and doesn't get all gunky black.

It better be, ordered two bottles off Wiggle - You have to spend a tenner now to get free delivery!

Good stuff.
You don't need a lot. 2 bottles? Blimey, that will last you years.
Let us know how you get on with it.

Hi,
For slipping gears first you need to check the chain wear.
New chain if needed.The Halfords bike oil is probably very suitable.
rgds, sreten.

Another noob rtelated question..

Dry lube for dry weather, yes ?
Wet lube for wet weather, yes?
I find when I use wet lube I pick up all sorts of s*** ...

Works for me. You just need to be a bit more pro-active come winter with wet lube unfortunately.

This one does the trick for me all year round.

Thanks for the reply..
I'm on it as necessary, I just wondered considering the varying views on dry / wet in winter.
I find I pick up some amount of crud when I use wet but its no problem cleaning it.
My part of Jockland is always wet in the winter ( and the summer come to think of it) so lube application is ongoing.

For anyone who doesn't already know, my preference is chainsaw oil.

+1 I've tried all the 'cycle specific' lube gimmicks; wet lube, dry lube, ceramic lube and so on, but now I save ££££'s and also use chainsaw oil. I'll never pay for overpriced 'cycle lube' again

 

[mrandmrspoves]

I agree with Smokeysmoo - my preference is whatever engine oil I had for my last car (currently semi synthetic 5/30)
My new car uses a different grade oil and I still have about 3 litres to use - so that will keep my extra long Trice chain lubed well for the next century or so!

If I bought one bottle it was £2.99 delivery, two bottles made it free delivery, I couldn't be arsed to find anything else to cover the free delivery - my normal go to additional purchase is inner tubes, but I think I might be over doing it on that front, opened a cupboard to look for some tools t'other day and it was full of tubes

Out of interest, how do you quantify that?
