Yes joebloggs, I have been doing this for a while-no more expensive cans of "white grease" or "dry"chain lube. Used to have a "scottoiler" fitted on my last Fazer but am not going to spend another £80+ on another & their "special" oil. A little car/bike engine oil does a good job.Clean chain with old paintbrush & paraffin. 4litres from B&Q for about £8. This amount will last many chain cleanings.
Oh & heres another one...... pair of Michelin Pilot Road 3 tyres delivered from "Round & Black" (Universal Tyres of Dartford, Kent) to Birmingham for £199-95.Cheaper than my going to my local place outside Birmingham.Take your loose wheels in to avoid extra labour cost. Pay for fitting new tyre/valves & balancing. Do NOT pay their ENVIRONMENTAL CHARGE for disposal of old tyres.Instead take old ones to your local refuse/recycling centre for free disposal.Call me a tightwad if you wish but I would rather spend the "hard earned" on "fun juice"
Use vinegar & salt mix to clean really soiled areas on your bike , brings it up brand new. remember to flush away with water after cleaning.
I have just had a couple of car tyres from oponeo. They arrived from Berlin in about 3 days...no problems.
Please don't pass this on whatever you do, but I have been making fortune out of fake 5op coins.Here is what you do.You get a pound coin and file off the corners to make it look like a 50p coin

But doesn't thin oil just fling off.I use this comes out thin and runny and sets, costs more but stays on longer.
Ultimately I suppose all that matters is that you do lube your chain, it doesn't seem to matter with what or how - so long as you do.But as this is a save money thread then engine oil it is then, but as you are using old stuff how much "goodness" is left in the oil
