Chain Lube

[Pedz1]

wat chain lube do most of you use?
wats best? or most of em the same?

[Mungoman45]

I cant remember the name of the proper actual "chain lube" I used to use, cause ever since i found close to 20 spray cans of liquid grease on the top floor of the shed, I've been usin it. Does exactly the same job as chain lube :D

[kyle]

i use castrol chain lube in a can, like 8 bucks from super cheap auto

[StUmPnthqldD23]

There's some new shit that really doesn't fling, i'll find out what it is. It's like $23 a can but you use less and it's so much easier to clean the bike, I mean it doesn't fling off everywhere at all..

i use bel-ray chain lube, seems to work pretty damn well for me

[Pedz1]

is that bel ray kinda foamy and white?

[redbull_fmx]

i use rock oil i dont care chain lubes chain lube to me one day i had no chain lube at a enduro and my mate didnt have any so i got the grease gun out used that took 5 cans of degreaser after the race to get it all off

[stavross]

motul chain lube plus. good stuff

[HOLLYWOOD]

yeah i use motul chain lube its pretty godd stuff

[[TOPGEAR]]

i use all my old gearbox oil lol. and in sand which is where i ride most, i just use CRC

[fmx_rick]

i just use old gearbox oil aswell, when you change the oil, just throw em in an oil can and bobs your uncle. i guess your still stuck with the problem of flicking oil everywhere and, sand & dirt sticking to the chain, though if you put it on regularly it seems to solve that problem

[hardkau]

in my many year$ of $earching, i have come to the concluion that bel-ray and motul would have to be the be$t chain lube$ on the market, both hold onto the chain very well and don't flik all over the place, and they don't attract $and or nythin either, good $tuff

[Robbo66]

i use belray :)

[StUmPnthqldD23]

yup, Bel ray is the good gear!

[FoXRaCiNG.2]

bel-ray is good s***

[fmxmaitland]

castrol is the bomb or i found this other stuff called tac2 and it is fuc43ing awsome it is soo tacky and dosnt come of for ages.

[Pedz1]

Wat kinda preparations and maintanance do u do on your chains guys? like lube em every ride? wash em after every so ride?
wat method of washing u do on em?

cheerz

[FoXRaCiNG.2]

lube before and after every ride

[Robbo66]

i use truck wash to clean the chain, then i spray my bikes with wd-40 to prevent rust and the dirt sticks to it and it comes off real easy, and then i also spray my chain with wd-40.

wd-40 washes the water off a surface, and the water just drips off. then before i go for a ride i spray it with chain lube. (belray as already mentioned)

[Pedz1]

cheers...

[fmxmaitland]

get an old dishwashing brush and use some degreser and wash the old lube and crude out then spray it clean after that lube with a water dispersent{sp} spray then before riding lube chain

[Agip]

Personaly I don't think the real big name lubs work good at all, they dry out really fast and they attract a lot of dirt (previous expirence from go-karts:p ) on my bike now I use a standard bar oil in I squart can. Try it?

[Boost FMX]

Motul's the go i rekn, been usin it 4 a while, does the job

[Agip]

Motoul is a motor oil man.

[Boost FMX]

[Agip]

yearh? i don't no ,I have onley seen it in motor oil.

[HOLLYWOOD]

Same here, TAC2 is the best chain lube i've used. It's more of a grease than an oil but it still works great!

[mulisha_mike]

I havent really done mine for a while but i need a new chain, but i dont really think it matters that much what yo use and to help with all the splater problems why do you care its a DIRT bike, but if you do you could what my dad and my uncles used to do on their road bikes. after you put on tons of lube and i mean allot just run it for a minute and then hold the back tire up some how(a stand) and put in firts and let the idol spin the tire and kinda hold a paper towl on the cain and then whip where the little of splatter went while its still wet. make its a paper towl and watch your fingers my unlce lost part of his thump from a rag gettin caught in the sproket

[Agip]

ya stay right awawa from the sprosket.
