[duckit]

hi, I am not riding a bike so didn't know you have to clean and lube the chain regularly. Question, if I don't do anything and just ask the motordiam to clean and lube for me when i go for servicing, would the chain still be able to work?

 

Super lazy lah, thanks!

Ask a good motortiam lube for u will surely be fine for ur chain, but unless u go for servicing every fortnight, the EO they use to lube for u wouldnt last long on ur chain. Ur chain will still be able to work, but they wouldnt work very well.

 

hmm.... its ok that u are super lazy (I am too), but are u oso very rich? If so, can just change ur chain more regularly. If not, the few minutes of chain lubing is unavoidable if u want ur chain to last.

 

And if u are willing to pay for being lazy, get the auto-oilers such as scottoiler, ~$200 for a hassle free and reliable chain maintenance system.

 

For me, I cant afford the $$ for a commercial oiler to save my lazy ass, so I did the next best alternative: learned from others to DIY my own "auto" oiler. Takes only a couple of hrs to put everything together, costs ard $10 if u use all the good materials.

actually i like chain wax alot, coz wax basically dun fling so much as lube. But maxima chain wax is so ex. Hopefully castrol chain wax is just as good.

[tt6389]

i finally bought a big can of castrol chain wax from LAB to test. Cost only $9. For about the same size can, maxima chain wax cost $20.

 

When i do spray test on a piece of cardboard, it dries up and become smooth like candle wax, which means it will not fling. But how well it lubricates i dunno.

So how the castrol chain wax?

Hey my s4 chain looks brownish bronze in colur. And has lots of sand and old thick black grease on it.. How do i get rid of the grease on the chain? Heard people say use kerosene but very uncomfortable with the chain guard over it and stuff.. Do i take out the chain guard and femove the chain and sproket myself to clean it.. or is there other ways to clean the grease on the chain?

[redbeacon]

The best I can think of is to do this with a paintbrush, spinning the rear wheel as you clean the chain.

 

Of course, ya gotta wear some chemical-proof glove while doing so.

Or u could use my method. Use 40wd. Juzz spray on the chain. Leave it few minutes. And wipe it with dry clothe. SImple and easy. But u may need plenty of dry cloth haahaha. the clthe will get very very very oily and dirty.

 

( THis method is best for super lazy ass like me hahaha, very lazy to disaemble the chain, spoket and put it in a bucket of petrol/kerosine.

[Cow]

i have been using maxima chainwax for the past 3 yrs. i only use kerosene and a brush to wash the chain once every yr or after my offroad days ;p.

 

summay,use a good chain wax - protect your chain and no need always wash the chain.

wd40 spoils your chain faster. pls read older posts.

i think i've read it be4. But if i hv a good memory, any X or O ring is not suitable to b wash with any chemical contain petroleum. but my chain is non O ring. Regular chain i guess...

 

And if i still remmber it correctly, Its ppl who use wd40 as a chain lubricant tht reli spoil their chain. Not using it as chain washer . SO mayb, juzz hv to make sure after cleaning da chain with wd40, rinse it with sumthing ( mayb water? ) to washed away the wd40 along with da dirty element... . Well thts my opinon though. Dunno its adviceable o not

.

 

 

( but if im not mistaken, i've read in 1 topic here, 1 way to clean da chain is using 40wd. Tht is where i got this idea of cleaning da chain with wd40... )

 

Well, any other opinoin on this are welcome. Im not a pro hik hik...

How bout gt85?

Some claim its safe to use on chains.

I've been using gt85 to clean those grimes and etc on my chains then wipe it clean then lube it with maxima chainwax.

 

Anyway, came across this vid, not sure how effective his method of lubing his chains since he spray then wipe.

 

Seeks advice here.
