I have heard that the Dupont Teflon woks very well I plan on trying this one of my off road buddys claims it works great and holds up very well in wet and dusty conditions . I guess We'll see.

I'm still using it on two bikes. I'm pleased as can be. If you spray it on and let it dry completely hardly anything slings off. I'm going to have to start waxing my wheels to keep the rust away now that they don't have oil all over them.

I know many folk who swear by the good old WD40 for so many more uses than can be healthy :2tup: Anyways, to the subject - I use chain wax, it does "a" job but Im less than delighted. In fact, I'd love no chain to maintain at all ..

Dupont teflon lube. seems to work well for me. Maybe it's just me but less dirt seems to stick to the chain. |

How much lube do you use? I have cleaned the chain and am ready to put some 90W gear oil on. but how much? Just enough to coat without dripping all over the floor?

If you're using an oil can you can apply it liberally and then wipe the excess off with a rag. Just be careful not to get oil on your rear tire. That could cause a painful experience.

The other way, which I prefer, is to put a few drops across about 6 inches of chain length, run the tire a few revolutions, add a few more drops, run the tire........4 or 5 times until you can see just a hint of oil on most all of the chain. As you ride, the sprockets will further distribute it. That method presumes that you have a safe way to get the rear tire off the ground and run it.

The spinning of the whole concoction will sling off any excess oil anyway. You just don't want it all over your bike. Once that stuff dries in the weather it's hard to get off without having to scrape it. |
