    Make sure you lube your brake discs at the same time, you don’t want too much friction against your brake pads

    I've been using WD40 for over 30 years on the cassette and chain and have never had a problem, ever.

    WD40 is excellent for bike seat lubrication. Step one spray on stranger's seat step 2 leave.

    who else is immature and laughed when he said "allows the lubricant to penetrate deep"?

    The best lube for the chain is recycled cooking oil

    i use wd40 all the time , works wonders

  • @robbyracer9715

    Ok listen up what I do is, I use aerospace light gear oil from NASA 2 drops per link. It must be applied in a vacuum and let sit for exactly 64 hours. Then into the hyperbaric chamber for 14.5 hours to drive the lubricant into molecular structure of the metal changing its tensile hardness, and reduces friction to zero. Once you do that it's good to go. I do that every ride and the chain lasts for ever. I'm lucky my lbs provides this service!

    Love how your drivetrain instantly upgraded (by itself) by using the correct lubing method :D

    There is third option. It's wax based lube, like Squirt. I recommend it! You can even mix parafin with little PTFE 1.5nm powder particles and make perfect chain lubrication yourself!

    This actually excellent advice. I actually lubricate my bicycle this way except for leaving it to sit for an hour or overnight. A much cleaner and better way. Florida is basically a sandbar that people live on. Drying it is essential. I have a folding bicycle that I use a wax based dry lubricant. It is awesome except when it rains, than I have to lubricate again.

  • @VincentForDesign

    Without wiping away the lube was the reason why my bike chain get dirty so quickly! Thanks for the video!

    Been using hot wax baths for 10 years. Once you try it, you never go back to lubes.

    Do it this way if you have absolutely all the time in the entire world.
