Best Lubrication For Rear Drive Chain

dangerdan

I eny you guys with rear belt drive, however I have a rear chain drive and am looking for recommendations on which chain lube is the least offensive that will not fly off and make a mess of the rear tire\wheel.

I am not intersted in an auto oiler - Messy also.

If there are guards available any recommendation are welcome.

Thanks guys

I believe it's PJ1 that puts out a lube that dries to a tacky substance and eliminates flyoff. I don't think it is used on "O" ring chains.

I did a google search on PJ1 , which lead me to other links - Wow !!
Sure is a lot of controversy as to which lube works best.

Tackey
Stickey
Clear
Waxy
Smelly
Oily
Greasey

PJ1 got excellent reviews and is available for O'rings. Will try it and see how it works.
Interesting note: Had no idea that O'rings required different lube.

The problem is some products will damage the "O" rings.

I use Champion chain lube. Its safe for all types of chains, and it doesn't "sling" as much as others I have used. I use an old rag and wipe the chain down before application, to get some of the grime from the last lube off. Then I spray the chain down with a shop towel backer and work the new lube into the chain getting off the excess to prevent more splattering.

convert to belt drive think of the money you will save on lube
Really I would never want to go back to a chain

i use white lightening or chain gold.............................................. .........not a motorbike specfic lube and is a pain to apply and needs cleaning off before reapplication as it leaves a dry teflon coating on the chain and is extremely water proof so you need a good citrus degreaser and patience




ps....its mountain bike lube

Smitty this bike had a belt drive before a rock took out the belt and sprockets.

Believe me Im tempted, but at over $1000 to convert , its not going to happen.

DuPont Teflon Chain Lube was also recommended but not sure of its availibility on Ontario... The PJ1 is readily available at our local Canadian Tire

Never thought of that ....Good Tip Moose
