chain lube

[BRM]

I'm using Morgan blue and it's using in many cycling teams

The only reason that some cycling teams use that brand is because its sponsered.
Nothing more nothing less.

I've tried a number of different lubes

Boeshield T9
Dumonde Tech
Muc-off Hydrophobic

I like the Dumont best.... it lubricates well, keeps things quiet and smooth and doesn't seem to collect too much gunk. The Muc-off is pretty close in terms of how well it performs, but damn the chain gets BLACK. I feel like it literally causes every little bit of nastiness that's ever collected in the chain to come out from the inside of the pins/rollers. The Boeshield is ok, but it seemed too thin to me, I ended up with a lot of splatter on the frame and wheels even after attempting to remove as much excess as I could.

Rock n Roll gold is fantastic. Thorough wipe and drops of lubricate takes under 5 minutes. I'm not sure why some wait 200+ km to lube the chain.

I've been using Wend Wax for the last couple months. I live in a really dry place so it's perfect for here, doesn't get dirty and keeps everything quiet. The application is unique as it comes in a deodorant like stick.

There's a new chain lube coming out from the Finnish ski wax manufacturer Rex... The lube has apparently performed well in dyno tests, was already used in Richmond by the Finnish National Junior Team @fincycling and is being currently tested by an unnamed UCI team. They're also looking for distibutors...

Out of interest, is Rock and Roll unavailable in Europe/UK at the minute? I can't seem to obtain Blue or Gold anywhere. Chain Reaction were selling the 16oz bottles dirt cheap a couple of years ago (£3 for blue, £5 for Gold, but only in-store, not online) and I had stocked up, bit now I've run out, and can't find any that isn't coming from US or Australia.

I use Rock N Roll Gold too. Great stuff, apply every other ride typically, or about 100-120km. Easy to keep clean too.

Used to use Prolink gold which was pretty good but RNR is lower friction apparently.

Squirt is truly terrible. Doesn't last long and just builds up waxy crap on the rings and jockey wheels which is a nightmare to remove.

Morgan Blue Rolls Pro for the winter bike.

I found new distributor in the UK for RNR and you can order direct:

Been using Prolink Gold for years but finding WD40 Dry Lube pretty good

Sorry for asking so many questions but Weightweenies is more than just any other bicycle forum where... let's just leave it at that. Weightweenies rock the world.

So, what's your favorite chain lube, please...?

Another vote for Boeshield T-9 in the aerosol form. I think it works best when used after every ride by spraying on the top of the rollers followed by wiping down the sides of the chain by back peddling holding a rag.

I'm another one that has used WD40 pretty much exclusively for cleaning and lubing my chains. Not had any issues over the last 20+ years using it.

I'm quite obsessive with having a clean looking bike and to be fair, I do give the bikes a quick wash after nearly every ride and whilst i'm at it, I would typically spray the chain with a degreasing product first and then apply WD40 to an old rag and run the chain backwards through the WD40'd damp rag.

Normal WD40 hardly lubes. Lousy product to lube your chain.
WD40 is a multispray, means on all levels it can do something it wil perform mediocre, inherent to multisprays.
But there is a chainlube from WD40 these days that does the job.

Not recommended to use the aerosol variant on your bike because the spray gets everwhere you dont want it.
The aerosol variant is nice when you use the product for other things like spraying tools to protect them.

Neoval for 4 years now, for me the perfect lube.

Regular WD40 is also contains a stinky solvent. If you ever put your bike inside your car, you'll notice.
