What chain lube to use

[Jboneman]

Need to get chain lube any ones to stay away from and any really good ones ? 

[ben2go]

I use Repsol chain lube spray.So far so good.

My first chain I used WD40 exclusively. Got 23,000km out of it.

Second chain I started using Lanolin. Worked great except it is sticker so stuff sticks to it - like dust, dirt, etc. And THAT, combined with the lube, creates a nice grinding paste to really help wear your sprockets faster. So I switched to Belray Super Clean. And this is the bomb so far. Currently at 17k+ on this chain and it shows no signs of anything negative.

Manual says Suzuiki Chain lube or equivalent... so just use whatever else - old gear oil, WD40, expensive chain lubes, Motul stuff, whatever. It's more important that you do actually lube it rather than What you use.

Clean it with kero, lube it often with some oil type product. Manual says to lube every 600 miles / 1000kms. I lube after every tank or two.

Cheap and great. They actually use it as a benchmark against other chain lubes.

I use motor oil, less than a cap full. I little oil squirter or an old toothbrush works great.

I use Champion Chain Lube. No complaints yet, although I've only used it once so far

Used once 

When you have used it for several thousand clicks, then suggest it. But one use is nothing to judge a chain lube by.

Cool, I'll keep that in mind, that's a good point.

Wondering can this be used with the cable luber for cables?

I picked up this stuff that came recommended in another post regarding chain lube back in April. I think that thread also suggested Pickles.

It should work.Any thin lubricant should work.I really need to do mine just to keep ahead of things.

Castrol chain wax.  Easy on, stays on, and easy off.  Doesn't get as grimy as oil.

[joneruss]

I use ATF; easy on & cheap.

forgot the name of it but i use some spray on white lithium grease. got it at home depot.

Dupont Teflon spray lube available at Lowes works for me. At around $5 a can which lasts for more than a month, I spray it almost every other time i ride and it keeps the chain nicely lubed yet dry and clean.

I've been cleaning with WD-40 and lubing with Stihl chainsaw bar oil.  After 500 miles it always still looks freshly oiled and has not picked-up near as much crud adn grit as it did back when I used "chain wax".

I can't believe some foks suggest that stinky old used gear oil, whew!

I guess *I* am the "some folks" as I mentioned it. Of course, I mentioned what I use and a bunch of other stuff. Point being, it is important to lube the chain regardless of what is used. I cannot believe you would bother to comment on stinky old gear oil
