Non fling chain lube

[SaferRides]

These are both a fail. The Castrol is useless - most ends up on the back wheel, not the chain. The Penrite 10 Tenths is better, but still gets on the wheel.

I'm trying to find something to use in winter when the roads are wet. My normal chain lube is some magical Du Pont stuff that never leaves marks on the wheel, but doesn't stop rust if the chain gets wet.

Whats the Du Pont stuff and where do you get it ?

DuPont Teflon Multi-use Dry, Wax Lubricant. Repco used to sell it, but I haven't seen it there for a while.

I still have a can for general domestic use but I gather that DuPont withdrew it 2 or 3 years ago. There was some talk that the propellant or some other component adversely affected o rings. I used it for several years. I've used Maxima Teflon since then or one of the other Teflon products if I can't get Maxima. Lube every 500 km or so. Changed the chain and sprockets on my Street Triple at 60,000 km. The GSX-S 1000 has done 40,000 km and the chain and sprockets are still in great nick.

I've used it for years and the chain and sprockets on my bikes have lasted very well. Dirt just doesn't stick, and I usually clean the chain once or twice a year.

I'm on the last can now so will need to find a replacement. Thanks for the feedback on the Maxima lube.

The Penrite lube seems to stay on the chain well, but there are white spots all over the wheel. And I didn't even go that fast yesterday.

Wurth keeps popping up on overseas forums as recommended. Not sure if it's available in unzud. They used to do a graphite based lube which was pretty good.

Bell Ray Super Clean Chain Lube

It's excellent stuff.

Heck I even use their chain cleaner (reminds himself to do that today as the weather looks shit).

Use as directed and it will not fling off. Spray on and leave ten minutes to set before riding.

If you can't find Maxima, the other one I like is Tirox. Pretty much the same properties as Maxima. Doesn't fling and keeps the chain spotless. Only clean mine about once a year too. I'm with you on Castrol products. Bought a can of Castrol O-R chain spray. Despite it saying non-fling on the can, it covered the back of the bike. Just use it on the boat trailer suspension now c

For what it's worth, heh. I have a can of castrol at the mo, Warehouse's finest, and it does dribble everywhere but I always run my chain through some scrunched up plastic carrier bag after lubing. This removes the excess and distributes lube evenly over the chain. I get very little fling off it and my chain seems happy.

Total

it used to be called something else more famous ELF
But its the best stuff i have ever used.
I have used castrol, belray, PJ ,rock oil maxima and lots of others.
But Total is different it goes on very wet but dries solid. so it penetrates but doesn't fling off.
It has a solvent that dries very quick, but dont use it until it dries to a waxy surface.
Best stuff i ever used for MX bike in sand.

Thanks, sounds similar to the DuPont stuff I'm using. I'll try some.

Where do you find that and what's the cost?

[Black Knight]

The website shows where to buy dependant on where you live.

Might well be as they are both French.
Dupoint might be far easier to get as its sold at Repco or it was.
Looking at the spec its a teflon based product not sure what the Total one is, as its all written in Froggy.
