The most amazing chain lube ever

[dpex]

It's called Prolan, and it's Lanolin suspended in something else. Utterly amazing shit.

You know what it's like after a chain-lube with the normal canned stuff. Shit everywhere, right?

Not with this stuff. Just the lightest of spray on the chain does the job. It's highly penetrative and, most importantly, it STAYS on the chain. Imagine having to lube your chain only every 5,000Ks!

It's a rust preventer. A coating for mags...Coat your mags with the lightest spray and then the shit which gets on comes off with a hose, no scrubbing.

Cleverest shit I've found since finding alcohol..

Just spent a bunch of pingas on an auto chain oiler for the road steed. How would it go for the dirties?

which product would you use on a motorcycle chain? the heavy grade liquid and just put it in a spray bottle?

You young'uns have it soooo easy, everythings in an aerosol these days isn't it? When I was a boy.............we had a product from Duckhams that came in a can large enough to hold your whole chain. It looked a bit like soft candle wax. You plonked your chain in, sitting on top of the goop, then placed the can on the gas hob (much to mum's delight) and heated it until the goop was liquid, then gently lifted your chain out with a length of wire or something.

This shit really got into (and onto) your chain and made refitting your chain a bit of a greasy hassle. Heaven help you if you spilled any in the kitchen too, which I can recall doing more than once.

Ahh, those were the days.

(So glad they're gone, I gotta belt now and that works just fine.)

While burning some of mum's best butter knives on the hob while you waited.

Wonder how liquid the liquid is?

Fill up the Scotty with it?

I was told by a Lanox (aussie lanolin lubes) product specialist that lanolin lubes are good as water resistant lubes,but have a low film strength,so are not good lubricants for chains and gears.

Which grade are you using? And how are you applying it?

Ah, yes those were the days. We had a big old tin of chassis grease and a kerosine cooker out in the shed. I still remember fumbling around the shed and walking into greasy chains hanging from the rafters.

These days I have a Loobman fitted (see photo). It's really a poor man's Scott Oiler but it works a treat.
