Hi All,
When I originally owned Sophie I used to get truly p*ssed off with chain lube all over the Red wheels after every ride!
My mate never got lube on his wheels and so hardly ever needed to clean his wheels (except for the road dust)..
He uses something that at the time i had never heard of..
Its called "Banana Slip Chain Wax"
https://www.tru-tension.co.uk/product/bananaslip-chain-wax/
In the UK Halfords sell it !!
Does this stuff actually lubricate the chain links & rubber seals? or just smell nice & stick to the chain, along with all the grit etc? :whatever: That's the question you gotta ask yourself if you're considering using it.
Chain lube, now there's a topic that could do with airing . . . :rofl2: :whistling:
Banana Slip Chain Wax.........Speedy you sure its chain wax. :popcorn:
My opinion, is like Col. Wax coats the outside, but does it get in to the links & seals?
A nice guy called Grog, got me and a few others on to gear oil & I wouldn't go back.
Is the banana oil for recreational use as well ? :)

Only if bought from Ann Sommers. :whistling:
Banana Wax, surely a gee up. Sorry, not commenting on chain lube.
Been using Chainsaw oil.
Oring, Xring, Wring chains are all self lubricating. You don't want anything getting past the seals and washing the grease out.
Anything that sticks to the chain without flinging will become a grinding paste in short order, unless you remove the previous application before adding the next.
I still recommend WD40 as the most cost effective chain lube.

Yet WD40 is one of the best degreasers I know. Having said that it's base ingredient is also Fish oil.

No mate, it's cutting edge stuff that!
I have a real bad habit of cleaning my chains with the spray gun and panel wipe (pre paint) point turn and spray - wipe off and re lube - never had tight spots chains last a fair old while
Im using Wurth Dry Lube just now but tend to clean and liberally oil the chain once a month then run the bike up to speed on the Paddock stand to chuck the oil all over the place - dry the chain and then re lube
works for me but can see how not everyone's cuppa tea
I don't oil my chain, nor clean it - ever. Nor do I get any fling on the rear wheel.

Would KY jelly give more penetration? :)
Notty, i think Banana Slip wins this conversation. Hands Down or Hands On.
I'm just so happy that Speedy started this whole thing off, with a simple comment :grin:
Got to love this place for taking things so off track & so easily :clapping:
It was Speedys fault Sweaty, he started it.... banana slip indeed.
Those MT and CB forums have most likely corrupted him :facepalm:

Yeah, but giving it to Simon just makes it more unreasonable. :stir: It's how things work in real life :rofl2: :cheers:
I wish to appeal !!! :bugga:
A peel the Banana?
:rofl2:
This banana lube, is it like yellow angel delight?
I just knew there was something about this forum that was lacking in my life when "I was on a break"..
Never mind. . . At least Sophie appreciates me..
:rolleyes:
Is that Notty on the naughty step again :whistling:
Yeah, he never really gets off it. :facepalm: He goes to be released back to the wider forum & he's at it again! :whatever: Barmy is onto him though.. :redcard: :rulez:

Now there's a thought....hmmmm....... :happy1:
On his way to Straya Notty would most likely get stuck in Nauru for a few years before being deported back to Cardiff.
:doh:
Looks like I may have to go the next step, and sponsor Notty so he gets in to the country then. But that's as far as I go Notty, so if that doesn't work, please don't ask me to marry you. :grin:

Marriage? Will - Need a pic first and a hit contract on Mrs Notty!! Just sponsorship it is then ! :)

If English-ish is Nottys first language. :redcard:
He certainly would'nt get in here.
