Lube your chain

[Isopropyl]

caught in the rain almost every trip for one week or so:sian:

 

got to lube chain more often if not the chain will dry up after a couple of trips.

[ezzyoiler]

yeah...the raining season is on us..now.

better take care of the chains...need to relube after ride in rain..

 

those who have chain oilers installed need not worry as the oiler will take care of this problem.

[iproapps]

how much is a chain oiler??

[iproapps]

btw, does it get stolen easily?

[Allen]

Does anyone use 2T to lube chain like me? Been doing for 3 months seems better than chain-spray / chain-wax.

[ezzyoiler]

not heard of anyone loosing the oiler

[aswin]

please use only chain lube as its properties are different from engine oil (or any other oil) or even wd40.

[ORen]

Wd40 is the last thing to use to lube the chain. To clean it ok, to lube: NO.

[Hydher]

How does Sae 80-90 oil compares to the engine oil/2t for chain lubing?

 

Where to buy too?

 

Thanks.

May i introduce to you the world's most advanced lubricant(nano technology and pure oil based).

Up to 20 times more effective than WD40

Great for protecting and lubricating chain and other exposed parts

Very effective in penetrating and retarding rusty and oxidized surfaces in mechanisms that work in severe conditions of moisture and temperature.

 

MSP Penetrating Lubricant (MSP PL)

(most technologically advanced)

need this diy??? i have a even simpler and compact solution..

[raven_titan]

some petrol station do sell tin cans for u to contain the petrol or disel..

cost abt $3+.

 

best is that u can clean the inside area of the ring so tat it is free from any particles hidden inside..

 

when it is completely clean, spray a fresh coat of lub and allow it to settle.

 

for more info u can refer to the articles in the forum...there is a articles on how to lub a chain well..

 

with diagram to guide u too

 

read the article... read this thread.. then i tried to lube my chain (x-ring).. but dunno if i am doing it right..

 

i use a car jack to jack the bike.. using Castrol ChainWax.. so its white in colour.. anyway.. i just spray the top and bottom of the chain.. as long a bit white can liao is it?

 

can i know the reason of pushing yr back wheel forward direction when lube at rear sprocket and back when lubing the front sprocket?

 

Hi

 

I can't seemed to find the article, can someone help point me to the correct direction/

 

Tks

what will happen if u spray electrical connectors contact cleaner to the chain?

[ezzyoiler]

what will happen if u spray electrical connectors contact cleaner to the chain?

 

oh...its cost too much ..and wrong application..

contact cleaner are solvents ...formulated to clean minute dirt on the electrical contact..

 

so you see...chains are really very dirty...one of the dirtiest task you will come across..

best if you have a heavy duty cleaner that do not contain solvents ...best but not available..

 

one of the easiset method is to use light eo or2t as a cleaner cum lube

with an oiler ...this device will clean the chain while you ride and at the same time lube the chains..

[Hydher]

Isnt that meant to degrease?

[naim]

Contact cleaner is just too light duty to remove d dirt and grime on a chain. Just search ard. There are more economical ways to clean ur chain e.g. Diesel or kerosene.. Or use proper chain cleaning solvents that are not harmful to the rings in the chain.

Kerosene is recommended in the manual for chain cleaning:thumb:

so that means negligble effect?

using contact cleaner.

no harm done to the chain?

 

thanks!

dont use...the solvent in this cleaner is very strong....it wil destroy most rubber compounds.

Great news...want to install oiler at 2009 introductory price??...in this high inflation times, this is indeed great news

[heysugar]

Just wondering what chain lubes you guys are using? Had tried maxima synthetic lubes, very disappointed by the fling off even thought I warmed the chain before lubing it..

 

Was previously using motul road c2, sticky type of lubes, fling off is almost zero, but attract dirt and sand easier..

 

So what you guys recommend? Any advice?
