I tried furniture spray on some squeaky door hinges. It worked a treat.
Tomorrow I will clean off a new chain and try it on that. Neil "Neil" wrote in message ... Could you use furniture spray as a chain lube? "Neil" wrote in message ...

Cleaned off old oil - sprayed some furniture spray - cycled a couple of
miles -seems to work. I'll do a longer rides over the weekend which will explore how long it lasts and whether it picks up grit or not. "Neil" wrote in message ...

Anyone has opinions? http://www.blastercorporation.com/PB_50.html It's cheap and some people use it on the chain. Notice the picture on the can. |

It say it's a water displacer, it does not mention molybdenum disulphide. If its for anything other than a childs light duty cycle I'd look for something else, like oil. |

OK, I tried now Mr Wrench chain lube, equally cheap but hopefully better. http://www.liquidwrench.com/ If I MUST pay for a better quality I wouldn't hesitate to do it though. |
