Re: [BBC] Chain Lubricant for btwin RR 5.3

[Hari Krishna]

You can use finishline lubricants. Sewing machine oil works but you need to clean the chain and lube it often.

Hello everyone,

I bought a RR 5.3 this weekend. Was wondering what type of lubricant you all use for the drive train of this bike. 

The guy at Decathlon suggested Sewing machine oil. I am not so sure, if that would work. I do have a WD40 spray for my Motocycle's naked chain though. Not sure, if that would mess my RR's chain though.

Kindly share your experiences.

Thanks in advance.

Decathlon Sarjapur has fresh stock of Finishline Dry lube

Do not use WD40, just google it.

It's okay for cleaning, do not use it as a lube. There are plenty of pointers on the internet, here is one http://bicycling.about.com/b/2009/02/26/wd-40-not-good-for-your-chain.htm

For cleaning, degreasers work better. More info here http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/bike-chain.html

Arvind,

 

 

The WD40 shouldn't be used on the chain.? I use it for cleaning any dust for first and than lubricate with oil.

 

Please share your thought ...

 

 

Thanks,

Nash
