so my new bike came out of the dealers with its chain covered in chain wax, nothing wrong with that you might say, but for me, I think wax is nothing more than a dirt magnet, so off with the wax and on with the oil
Morning Colin, to late mate told your better half your using her tooth brush on your chain, you are now in big trouble 😂😂😂 I would have used the lift Colin, did mine on the drive, on the floor, and the knees & back took a beating. The chain on the classic looks fine I think they are pretty good quality no tight spots or anything, what’s is the matter with us, can get down but getting up 😳- 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m on my last 2 bottles of Scott oil haven’t seen it in France 🥴but should last a while, the chain spray from lidle normal comes in - in the spring along with the cycling gear, when I was working for Hein Gericke people opted for the wax or similar as they didn’t like the flick on their back wheels number plate n chain guard, never bothered me, and I rarely change out my chains on my bikes. …..

Morning Pete, she's always got a load of new toothbrushes in the cupboard, she'll never miss one 😅😅, your right, I should have used the lift, it's ok getting down but getting back up is never easy😅, I prefer oil anyday to Wax, must be an age thing 😂, usually Lidl like you say have all the sporty stuff in the spring, and they did, but no W5 chain oil, so i need a substitute and quick .......... Colin ☺️
@@droneon29 I don’t know what I will do when my last 2 bottles of Scott oil have gone, should have got some more when I shot back to the uk recently, 🙄 duh. My fall back will be chainsaw oil not sure if that will effect the O or X ring chains though, yeah you may be right about it being an age thing, as far as I can tell the wax coats the chain I like oil cos it’s absorbed into the links especially applied when the chains hot and to me that is lubrication 🤣 cos I’m old …. Pete🇫🇷
Hi, yes I agree the wax seems to sit in the chain and attracts all the dirt whereas the oil sinks in, it definitely an age thing 😅, I should imagine that oil will be ok as long as it has no detergent in it, my daughter's going over yo the uk in January, if you need some oil ? ...... Colin ☺️
