Hello new guy,
Just so you know, we do have a SEARCH function here on the board.
Type in chain lube there and you will be greeted by a host of entries on the subject.
I won't harangue you about not doing a search there first, but someone is apt to chime in soon and tell you to SEARCH FIRST.
Wait, I guess I just did it.

I use PJ1 black label chain lube.
Some folks like regular motor oil.
Read all the info and then decide.
Good luck,
Trwhouse

Motul Chain Wax.

I hate fling!

+1 to PJ1 Black...turns into a nice goop...little to no fling there

Clean all the muck off with WD40 and a rag then apply a chain wax. Apply to the top of the lower chain run and centrifugal force will spread it, every 600 miles seems to be univerally accepted as best practice.
