    Chain wax "non-messy"?

    What is a good chain wax that doesn't leave horrible hard to clean marks all over your rear tyre. Any recommendation?.

    Maxima Racing Oils Chain Wax
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    +1 for Maxima chain wax.
    Use it on road, and off road bikes. Does need the ocassional respray when it drys out a bit.(gravel multiplies that effect).

    +500 It's not totally clean mind but it's pretty good......Mind you I probably over do it with the application anyway.

    What about the prooiler? Like a scottoiler but supposedly better. Oldrider has one on his Tiger, and after 100's of km's over the last couple of days with him everything was still perfectly clean
    Can use whatever oil you like in them too.
    http://www.pro-oiler.com/ is the website I think.

    Spectro Chain wax - dries clear, isn't messy, and smells nice (most important).

    I found Spectro flung off all over the place and needed constant re-application. You must ride like a nana!

    Hmmmmm....
    Maybe it's the way you put it on, or the way you held your tongue? :spudwhat:
    Though I must say that it's not as good as what I've been (mostly) using the last coupla years, which is Motul chain lube. However, even though the Motul lasts longer and seems to have better lubricative properties (it's a grease), it's fkn messy in comparison, and doesn't have that nice smell (very important). Plus the cans are dearer and don't last as long as the Spectro.

    Mebbe I'll try Maxima next.

    What's it smell like, Mister?

    Oh - and actually, I do ride like a nana.

    What are these "chains" of which you speak?

    The "chains" of which we speak, are the chains that bind. In applying various unguents such as wax, grease, oil or fat, we seek to ease the travails to which they are subjected.

    Your arms are warm but they make me feel
    As if they're made of cold, cold steel
    A simple kiss like a turnin' key
    A little click and the lock's on me
    Can't move my arms, can't lift my hands
    I won't admit to where I am
    But I know baby, I'm in chains
    I'm in chains

    Spectro is definitely better than Motul, but Maxima is the same leap over Spectro as Spectro is over Motul.

    I like how it smells.
