I use WD40 as my chain lube. I put the bike up on the rear stand and spray the inside of the chain while spinning the rear wheel. Once lightly coated I wipe off the excess with a rag. Chain stays nice and clean, it does not rust or bind up, and it does not fling the WD40 everywhere.
Because it is on the thin side, I lubricate my chain just about every time I go out for a ride. If I am planning on a long ride I will bring a small can of WD40 along with me. With the rear stand it takes me less than a minute to lubricate it. Without, it takes about 2 minutes.
Just some food for thought. |
WD40 is not a lubricant, all your doing is cleaning your chain. that why it doesn't fling, but keeping the chain clean is 95% of the battle, lube is sealed inside the o-rings
