I still say I have no faith in that stuff because I can't see it! :lol:

I use chain kote, normally on BOGOFF at busters, seems to work well though can sometimes be a bit flingy, just make sure you leave it for a bit.

I tried the ceramic stuff once, what a horrible nightmare that was.

Disagree on the dry Wurth I'v just finished a can and tho you can't see it it's kept my chain nice and quiet and always has a light sheen on it. Used PJ1 before bit more flingy but good as well. Wouldn't use Castrol chain wax again tho really didn't seem to last longer than one short ride before re applying and flung gobs of waxy grease everywhere :x .

PJ1 Blue (not Black), apply it at the end of the ride when the chain's nice & hot. Not 5 mins before you go for a blast.

Not keen of the wax type lubes as they seem to build up around the gearbox sprocket area caking the clutch push rod.

Get a Scottoiler, it'll pay for itself in the long run.

I know, but I can't sniff at a bargain.

It's just a shame that and as Gavin said "Blood is not a lubricant"
