Chain lube is always wet which means will fling a little. Chain wax is dry but after warming up, will be wet but doesnt fling at all.

 

If you dun mine a weird white chain, try belray super clean at unique motors.

Hi,

 

as the pictures belows illustrates, the correct and exact place the lube is supposed to go is onto the O-Rings itselves.

Crap, been wasting $$$ spraying onto the rollers all these while. :slapforehead:

The amount of lube going to the O-rings is minimal at best.

 

me aslo wasted sian

Does gear oil makes the chain black?

 

Also, is cleaning with a solvent like kerosene, diesel, gt85 recommended over plain wiping with a rag? I personally feel that it is difficult to be completely lubing all your chain o rings after degrease in just one application of lube without over lubing.

gear oil will made the chain black over time due to accumulation of dirt..

u hav to clean off the solvent off in order for the lube to stick on the chain..

i nv use gt85 b4..

so i dun noe need to rinse off b4 lubing the chain..

for some solvent, it tend to prevent the chain lube to cling on the chain so hav to clean the solvent away wif water b4 lubing..

got a question ah.. using scottoiler now. understand from this thread the part that needs the lubrication is the O-Ring, not the roller. so the scottoiler oil-tip shd drip the O-Ring right? but in the videos and pics of installation, the angmohs stick the oil-tip onto the rear sprocket. by doing that, dun tink the oil will drip inside the O-Ring..

 

anybody can clarify? hehe thanks.

the oil will not drip to the O-ring..

instead the oil will flow to the O-ring due to the centrifugal force.

the oil will flow away from the spocket.. to the the O-ring..

i understand that there is a gap between the spocket and the O-ring but dun u worry..

if the degreaser is o-ring/x-ring safe, should be ok to use..

but i tot bicycle chain is those conventional one wifout any seal..

therefore i dun noe is the degreaser safe for bikes chain which some hav seal(O/X-ring)

to play safe, is better to wash it away..

ya.. that is the method..

degrease to clear the debris..

wash to clear away the degreaser

wipe to clear the moisture off or ride for 5 mins..

lube the rings..
