Evan knows all about lubricant and when it comes to your bike it's important you know which lubricants are for what applications. Ev runs us through the Important points with both race and freestyle bikes.
I got my chain lube from an auto store says can be used on Bicycles but it’s a spray and very hard to apply, how do you guys recommend applying spray lube on a chain?
All chain lubricant will work the same but you definitely don't need heaps, a drop per roller is the go. So maybe try spraying into a small cup and just dropping it on a little each roller. Might be more easy to control this way. Hope that helps. If you have any other questions make sure to send them to help@luxbmx.com Thanks Jim!
This could be a number of things causing this however making sure you chain is straight and inline with your rear driver and sprocket is a good place to start. Then lubricant is an important step and finally if your chain has any seized links this could also be causing a tight or loose spot. If you have any other questions feel free to email us on help@luxbmx.com Cheers 🤟
You could use it, however, it's not really going to change the speed of your hub. The other thing is because it's onyx specific it's quite expensive and a very small tube. We would recommend just regular, lighter weight oil.
This was a great video. The low view count gives me little faith in humanity. Thank you so much, I'm lubing up my Sunday model C.
Thanks man! lube is important!
I use a toothbrush to clean your chain or grease it less mess makes it clean
that's a great idea!
@@luxbmxstore thanks I try to think of other ways that can be used
What lubricant did you use for the chains?
We use Speed-x lubricants on chains
SpeedX - it's the ultimate chain lube and prevents corrosion better than any oil-based lubricant

Is it normal for a freestyle bmx to have loose and tight spots? If not how do you fix it?

With the last grease for the oynx hub would I be able to use that for my profile drivers ? The oil seams to go too fast for my likeness

i wonder what core street riders would think of this
Hopefully everyone thinks it's informative. 👍
