Applying the correct chain lube is vital for the smooth operation of your bike's drivetrain. If you use the wrong kind it may wash off in wet conditions and your gears could begin to squeak, or it could attract a lot of dirt and cause premature wear to your chain, cassette and chainrings!

I use wax based lube. It does wonders. It's not the best lube for extremely muddy conditions, but it doesn't attract dirt, similar to the dry lube, and at the same time it is also water resistant as water tend to just bounce off wax. A lot pf mud can ultimately take it off, but it take a while, so it's my (very) happy compromise

@Peppermint1 Год назад

How about the regular city riding guy ? For city ride in dry weather, I like the wet lube (green bottle) because the chain stays cleaner and because I can actually see when the chain needs lubed again. The Dry lube (red bottle) is basically invisible, one day after application it's hard to say if the lube is still there, plus it clearly packs up much more dirt and fine dust on the chain.

Muc off dry lube comes off after going thru 1 or 2 puddles on a sunny day. I've never had any other dry lube wash away that easy.

@gongatots4115 4 года назад

Surely wet lube will attract the same grit if not more than dry grit in the wet that sits in the rollers of the chain? Wet lube creates a horrible grinding paste that coats the entire drive train that wears the whole lot out rather than just the chain. Dry lube all year round for me.

@michaelb9664 4 года назад

gonga tots totally agree! Wet lube is horrible stuff.

@rupedog 4 года назад

Its doesnt wash off easily. In winter, dry lube will wash away quickly, and u have no lube, just the mud etc. Lube should sit inside the rollers, not on the chain surface, always wipe xs away.

@gongatots4115 4 года назад

@@rupedog a perfectly lubed chain only lasts as long as it stretches anyway. Using dry lube means a squirt of bike cleaner and a rinse and the whole drivetrian is gleaming after every ride. Less grinding paste means the cassette, derailleur jockey wheels and front chain ring last a lot longer. Even if the the entire dry lube washed off in the first 10 mins of a ride , water is still lubing the chain.

@michaelb9664 4 года назад

gonga tots again I agree. It’s got nothing to do with wiping off the excess wet lube. It still ruins your entire drivetrain turning it into thick black grinding paste, because it attracts every piece of grit once the chain rollers have passed over your cogs. Dry lube every single ride if you have too, at least the drivetrain isn’t covered in grinding paste and it is much easier to clean. I’ve never had an issue with dry lube on wet rides. It’s only a problem if it isn’t reapplied for the next time.

Reyner Lara: Here you go. This technique is fantastic. Longest lasting. Best in dry and wet conditions. There is an initial cost and some added hassle. But in the long run least expensive. The key is to totally clean your chain of oil before waxing it. Once that is done initially you merely clean your chain in hot/boiling water for the rest of its life cycle. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HHr9znwpwmQ.html

Assuming a 1x if not then put chain onto smallest front ring then check the following. Put chain into smallest rear cog and as long as the rear derailleur pulleys (jockey wheels) are not rubbing the chain against itself then the chain length is fine.

Do you think dry lubricant PTFE actually sticks to a chain that was previously covered in oil? The truth is that lubricants only serve to keep your chain from rusting. Even wet lubricants don't penetrate into the roller pin bushings unless you soak it perhaps. Better off spending your money on new chains and replace them regularly to protect the way more expensive cassette. As long as you're not rusting, you're fine. But I guess you're not going to get a corporate sponsor for a boring lab video...
