Which Chain Lube Is Right For You

[@matic2601]

I had the normal dry lube on my Road Bike and this was the worst oil I ever had. I stocked exactly to how it should be applied and my chain was super loud after 10km…

[@BEM_01]

I drive where there's a lot puddles and dry sand. which one should I pick for the perfomance lube? wet or dry?

[@pauljames1978]

[@AS174-q8l]

Bought the all weather, amazing lube.

[@porroco]

Any tips of how to apply spray chain lube correctly

[@SorenCicchini]

There's a good instructional video for the dry lube aerosol - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHSwaqSnl5ZpqsU The brief instructions on the page for the wet lube aerosol are similar to those for the dry but it also says to use it at room temperature, and for optimum performance to leave it to soak in overnight after wiping off the excess: muc-off.com/collections/bicycle-lube/products/bicycle-wet-weather-lube-aerosol-400ml

I live in Fl and we have sand, dirt, mud, ect for mountain biking. What lubricant should I be using Thank you

[@ulysses4989]

Depends if its mostly dry

[@Will-ol9lp]

Right now we are dry & wet do to our hurricane season

[@Will-ol9lp]

Would one of the ceramic work better

[@ulysses4989]

The main difference is that wet lubricants leave a sticky coating a bit like honey. This is not great if it is dusty because dirt gets stuck in it, contaminating the lubricant and causing wear, but it does keep the water out and the lubricant on the chain. Dry lubricants don't trap dust and dirt, so they aren't as easily contaminated and the chain looks cleaner (because it is cleaner, as you'll see if you touch it) but it is more easily washed off by water, so it's not great if conditions are wet because the lubricant can be washed out, causing wear. Ceramic lubricants work better for longer because they contain lubricating solids that are not as easily degraded or displaced by the high loads in a power transmission chain. If you routinely use the bike for commuting and maintain it periodically, the longevity of the premium ceramic lubricants is probably a good investment but if you are preparing your bike before riding it as a special outing, it probably isn't as important because you will be ensuring that the bike is properly lubricated whenever you ride.

High prices are not good for poor riders 😭😭

[@Hasio-Maszkietnik]

I guess those are worth it, but I never tested any of their products.

which lube is for servicing dropper posts?

[@mucoffltd]

we would recommend our Bio Grease.

Awful lubes - unless you like a thick, black grinding paste wearing out your components, splattering you and your bike, and general slow riding. AVOID ALL muc-off lubricants and treat yourself to Silca super secret, Ceramic speed UFO drip, Squirt, Smoove, Rex Black Diamond, Effetto Mariposa Flower Power, or Tru Tungsten and thank me later.

[@kdejvviihd6439]

I learned the hard way. Muc off is pushing their products very aggressively and I fell for them. I had to replace my cassette and chain after 500km of Ebike ride. Less than 2 months. I kept cleaning everything and reapplying thinking that maybe I did something wrong and still ended up wearing down everything. Ebikes wear down chains and cassettes faster but not killing them in 2 months. Its mucoff that did it.

[@georgec2894]

@@kdejvviihd6439 Agreed: aggressive marketing means they are just conning the public. Great to see people wising up to this morally wrong way to run a so-called business. Enjoy your longer lasting drivetrain Components now you’ve changed away from Muc-off👍

So what lube would you recommend for me riding my Trek Marlin 7 around dirt trails and stuff

Squirt chain wax, thank me later

[@jaysondulay5968]

Nope

[@supermitendo9654]

It's been proven in many tests that squirt stuff is not that good

[@neutronpcxt372]

@@jaysondulay5968 He's not wrong. Most drip on waxes like Squirt are a lot better than Muc Off's high end products.

[@HungryPanda3287]

Squirt ftw! Make sure to degrease chain first tho, then after degreasing bathe the chain in metho, hang to dry and then apply the squirt. There will be minimal black stuff on chain thereafter and you won’t get those nasty black marks on your jeans/trackies anymore.

[@josephlaidler3778]

Ngl your lubes are way overpriced and a bit worse compared to other brands

[@thibaudpaya1884]

WD40 and rock and roll... no difference except the price

[@McMaster_102]

Except WD40 is a solvent that does exactly the opposite of lubricating a chain.

[@SorenCicchini]

In case you didn't realise, this is actually Muc-Off's video that you are trolling on with disinformation, not Rock "N" Roll's. As our de_dust2 loving friend pointed out, WD-40 is not ideal for chain lubrication. WD-40 Multi-Use Product was developed as a water displacement product (hence the WD in the name) to protect metal from corrosion. Lubricants need to maintain not only a water exclusion barrier to prevent corrosion but also a load-carrying film to prevent metal to metal contact. Chain lubricants not only need to support high loads due to the small contact areas but they are subject to cycles of shock loading rather than a constant load that enables the development of a stable hydrodynamic fluid film, as experienced in a running journal bearing (the need to establish the oil film in the journal bearings is why most car engine wear occurs at start up). The WD-40 Multi-Use Product contains a light, penetrating oil that is excellent at wicking into the crevices in the chain assembly to establish a film, but its low viscosity means that it doesn't build a very thick film, and it evaporates out relatively quickly. That's why WD-40 has a WD-40 Specialist BIKE range somewhat similar to Rock "N" Roll and Muc-Off's lubricant ranges. Rock "N" Roll Gold uses a similarly light hydrocarbon liquid as a carrier fluid but that contains solid lubricants, which I believe are paraffin wax (dissolved in the carrier fluid) and very small pieces of PTFE fluoropolymer, which remains behind to provide lubrication after the carrier fluid evaporates. The Muc-Off product range compositions are described in this video.

[@jpesicka492]

I us wd40 to degrease. Dry it off then apply actual lube

[@DS-um9hi]

Reminds me of my dad... His answer for any kind of lubricant was WD40 😂 I thought that kinda thinking had died a death.

[@Born_X_Raised_LA]

no.
