Due to the very hot summer and very dry, dusty conditions (quite a novelty for the UK) I've switched
from using Finishline Crosscountry to the Teflon Plus 'Dry' lube.
Although shifting is absolutely fine the drivechain does sound a bit tinny and louder than usual. My
LBS says that that it's a good idea to apply the lube pretty much every day for a few days to build
up a reasonable layer of lube after which the occassional clean and lube should suffice.
Something else I'm a little unsure about is how to apply the lube correctly. The instruction say
little more than apply the lube. When using Crosscountry, a wet lube, I leave the lube on the chain
for several hours to seep into the chain and then use a rag to thoroughly clean any remaining lube
from the chain. Should I use this technique for a dry lube such as the Teflon Plus or simply apply
and leave to dry?
Thanks for any thoughts and I'd also be interested to hear of people's favorite chain lube.
With Kind Regards Paul.
