chain lube??

[kristoni22]

Can anyone give me a recommendation on what kind of chain lube to use?

Here's what Glenn9171 told me:

Chain Lube: I use Maxxima chain wax. Make sure it says "wax", not lube. The wax variety slings off much less. Clean the chain with WD-40. Take a 5 minute ride to warm and dry the chain. Apply the chain wax as per instructions on the can. Do this every 600 miles.

The instructions on the can were alittle vague on where to spray. I cleaned the chain off real good, rode around, and put the lube on it. Very little fly off if you dont ride right after you put it on. Made my chain look newish again!!!

I use the chain wax too, much better than the old Kal-gard I used to use on my other bikes. Once you start using one or the other don't switch. I like the chain wax with the white rims anyway. Price difference: not much, don't even worry about it, you're taking good care of your bike with the chain wax.

Personally I preffer a graphite based tubricant.  I find it stays gummy longer.

My friend prefers a teflon based lube...but I think that's because he steals it from work  :mrgreen:
