Years ago there only seemed to be 3 ways of lubing a chain:
1.a tin of black grease you put your chain in and 'cooked' the whole thing like a Fray bentos pie in the oven (stank the house out!) But chain tech has changed, can't do that now anyway...
2. gear oil painted on the chain was a day to day luby solution.
3. Aerosol Chain Lube (semi-synthetic oil) which has so-called 'non-fling' properties. Disgusting stuff, like 'undead' party string.
This last is the one I've been using for years. I confess I'm getting sick of scraping and dissolving the 'non-fling' oil off of my wheel rims and other bits. I also confess to being vaguely aware of newer chain luby stuff out there, but woefully bleedin ignorant beyond that!
Does anybody have recommendations before I go out and get ripped off for another tin of Non-Fling Technology gunk? :violin:
