Hi all, I'm going to start a Mini FZ16 MO for levers soon. Price estimated including shipment+western union fee+levers will cost ard 40dolls per pax with at least 5sets ordered per shipment. Got mine at 55dolls, so save you 15dolls for sharing western union and shipment cost. Estimated time to reach SG is around 3-5business day only. My item was shipped ytd 2am and it hit SG around 11am this morning. So i should be receiving my lever by tmr. More details will be provided in the next few days once i received my levers. I guess i will close the MO once it hits 5sets/10sets depending on the audience.

WD40 is not a lubricant.. ALAMAK!

Please do not use WD-40 to lube wheelbearing or chain. It not only displaces moisture, it displaces the grease and oil too. U will cause more harm than good if you lube this parts with WD-40.

YenYu · August 10, 2011

Guys .. please READ abt the facts and myths

WD40 is a light lubricant and a degreaser !!!!!! ...

W = water

D = displacement (to remove liquid esp water)

40 = 40th attempt (name back in 1953)

http://www.wd40.com/faqs/

http://www.wd40.com/about-us/myths-legends-fun-facts/

.... On chain since wd40 is light lubricant .. yes it is not wise to use on the chain as a main lubricant for long duration since it dries faster.

However it is wise to use than rather not to lube the chain especially after bike wash or after riding in a heayy rain. Use wd40 to displace all the water on the chain first before lubing it with chain oil or chainwax.

Similar during lubing chain with your favourite chain lube ... wise do not lube with engine idling on gear 1 ..

reason 1: safety ( i have friends lose a finger)

reason 2: most of the lube will fly off and does not penetrates inside the chain !!

... On wheel bearings, cone bearings yes it is not wise to use cos wd40 is a degreaser!! ... it removes the grease away.

However wd40 is wise to use to clean the bearings during maintenance to clean the old grease and dirt away and replace with a new grease!!

... On clear plastic .. it is not advisable since wd40 has petroleum base products!!

Hope this infos helps to understand better the correct usage of wd40 on your bike ... wd40 prevents rust if used often!!!! ...

Cheers! Think Safe Ride Safe ....

how can it be possible that you degrease and lube at the same time?

dun just blindly copy/paste from their website..

and some industries like aviation bans the use of WD-40 due to certain properties of the solvent.

like said .. yes there's a lot of debates on wd40!! ..

aviation and motorbikes are 2 different vehicles ... lol

wd40 or which ever lubricant i'm using .. basically it does the simple job to lubricate parts of my bike rather than NOT to lubricate at all!! ..

I'm not a repesentatives of wd40 or what so ever .. but I do used it for my daily usage and it works fine with me ...

I'm just sharing what i've used so far on my bike ,cycles and household .. and it does not harm my bike at all.

please read again all my post and don't get the wrong qoutes and my intention ..

cut and paste a link is to have people read rather than to listen without reading the facts and myths ... cos reading is knowledge!!

my apology if I offended you guys .. oopss since my english sucks .. so most probably it gave the wrong message to some of you!! ... hehehhe

anyway do remember .. Lube and don't be lazy not to lube your bike!!

cheers! .. Think Safe Ride Safe

mjbs64 · August 10, 2011

degrease is to wash and remove the unwanted grease, oil and dirt etc ..

lube does different usage depends on the job ..

lube to remove rust

lube to prevent rust

lube to prevent friction

lube to maintain and last longer

and etc ...

cheers!! ..

no offence, but using WD40 to lube is worse off than not using any..

and when you mentioned cycles, all the more you should know more about the cons of WD40..

yes, it's good for removing rust and stuffs.. but to use it for even the simplest lubrication, i would rather choose to use singer oil at the very minimal..
