Why?

What have I missed here?

Let me know when you find a product that doesn't do the same thing to some extent. That or paint your wheels black.

What?

Fling off on the wheel?

Could be incorrect application.

Too much

Not enough setting time after application.

Or it could just be completely normal regardless of the brand.
Get back to me when you find one that doesn't do that.

Maybe once the OP has ridden for more than a month....it'll be discovered that all chain lubes have some fling off

damn chains and their lube making the bike slightly dirty, just go

instead of worrying

Excess chain lube is how I know it's time to clean my bike, when I can't tell what colour the back wheel is any more.

Yep all the chain lubes I have used still "Fling" some off ......more so if I get a bit keen on the application.

I don't know if a scottoiler would be better as ive never used them but may be an option for you there.

! You're using the wrong stuff!

**Gremlin** · 10th February 2016, 11:39

You have white rims

a scottoiler means lubrication is consistent not necessarily that there is less mess. I have one on my bike. I use a rag on the garage floor when the bike it put to bed at night, there is always a bit of oil which drips off the chain/sprocket. My wife's bike has no such issues as she uses a wax on the chain.
With an oiler the chain is always easier to clean.
its a pros/cons thing.
