What are some good chain lubes for my new mountain bike??? |
What are some good chain lubes for my new mountain bike??? It depends on your riding conditions and personal needs. For example, if you live in Arizona, a dry lube like White LIghtning, Finish Line Krytex, or Rock 'n' Roll will keep all that extra-fine grit from sticking to the chain. If you live in Oregon, where it gets pretty wet at times, you'll do better with a wet lube like Tri-Flow, Pedro's Road Rage or Phil Wood Tenacious Oil. Wet lubes don't wash off as easily in bad weather or mud, and will protect your drivetrain better. Other factors to consider are how often you want to clean your chain, how often you relube between cleanings, the season you're riding in (winter vs. summer) and whether or not you can stand having a "Rookie Mark" on your right calf from a greasy chain. As always, anyone that suggests WD-40 or 3-in-1 Oil should stay at the flea market with their Wal-Mart specials; WD-40 is NOT a lubricant! Source(s): 15 years of riding in Colorado, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, California and Utah. white lightning chain lube SAE 90 oil is good, if Your chain is covered, so You won't throw oil all over Your leg or clothes. Experience. If you are going to ride it through alot of water.I have found that using a spray chain lube for motorcycles works great. It goes on thin an then gets very sticky and hangs on tough. Use it my self |
