New chain and sprocket?
#9
(22-04-20, 12:05 PM)darrsi link Wrote: I use 80w90 gear oil on my chain these days, which i paint on at the rear sprocket every few weeks or so with a 2 inch paint brush while the chain is still warm after a ride, dependant on the weather (heavy rain). I then just wipe off as much excess as I can with a rag before putting the bike away.
The chain has never been in better shape. Every link remains completely free and no dirt or grit sticks to it at all any more.
Plus by using the paint brush very little oil is needed to cover the whole chain which also only takes about 2 minutes max to do.
It was mainly your advice and help when I changed the set that I went to 80w90 gear oil. I wouldn't go back to the chain tech but Gnasher's post about a good expensive dry lube pricked my ears.

I don't like the fling down the side of the tyre.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
