Title: chain lube?
Post by: adam1000 on 25 February 2012, 08:43:12 pm
can anyone recommend a decent chain lube for a gold chain? don't want it turning black, used to be able to get clear chain lube but can't seem to find any that state they are clear! any ideas?

wurth chain wax - invisible once applied and doesn't fling off. can't ask for any more from a lube.

Scottoiler, and I'm not connected with them in any way, other than a very sattisfied customer. I wouldn't run a chain driven bike without one!

I to run a scottoiler, its great but limited. For most year round riders its a great bit of kit, but my bike is stored outside and used randomly. its my ownly fourm of transport but it might be used daily for a week or two, then not used for a week. so this meens when the bike isnt being used the chain can start to show signs of rust. i allways recomend oilers as i think they work well even though for the way i use my bike its limited.
There was a shop i was in once in taunton (think it was V & J's that have just gone bust.) they had a selection of chain lubes that were coloured lol. they did red,green,purple,black,white and ... gold :) i laughed at the time thinking gimick but later when i got a gold chain i did think back i should have grabed a can of it. not seen it since though, but have seen at a bike show chains with coloured side plates in green and blues etc.
