[Cycling] WD-40 Okay For Chain Lube?

B

Guest
Just wondering - I've been using it for a while and seems to be okay.

Also, is WD-40 okay for lubing cables & derailleurs?

Thanks,
 
The problem with using WD-40 as a lube is that it
a) attracts dirt like mad
b) breaks down very quickly

so you'll end up with a dirty, dry chain pretty fast.

in a pinch, you can use TriFlow (which has lube properties, but still attracts dirt like hell), but i recommend any of the many wax-based lubes out there

Pedro's Ice Wax
Schwinn Citrus Wax
etc etc

they work way good. try em, you'll never go back. worth the $5 or whatever it is for a bottle.
 
WD-40 is a water displacement spray, not a lube. I'm with the others when they say "in a pinch".

Otherwise, get a good chain lube or wax that is specific to the kind of conditions you ride in.
