😀 Thank God I have stocked up Canola oil, harvested from my farm land back here in Pakistan! The prices have double compared to the not so distant past.
I lubed my chain with a mix of Axe Body Wash and rich creamery Vermont butter. It's kind of loud, but it smells amazing, and I don't care if people act weird when I ask them to sniff it.
Omg! Canola oil?!! This is something that I never heard before 👀! ... Hum... Só, next time when I do a good clean o my speed, I will try-it hidden from my mommy 'cause she will not like to see her oil being used to lubricate a chain 😹🙈
Finally a good modern use of Canola oil. But please... don't drink it. Many years ago it was a wood preservative... But please don't put it on your salad.
You never want to put natural oils or mineral oil without additives on your chain! While it might run very well for some time, as soon as the temperature changes and the oil "ages" it will be almost useless. Some natural oils can be very corrosive as well. Always buy something fully synthetic for a reasonable price (don't overpay for a 20ml bottle is what I mean). Industrial gearbox oils and engine oils will do a decent job if you need a lifetime supply for cheap. If you need a "normal" amount look at the finish line product range. While they are not cheap, at least they don't scam you like muc-off... E: Really enjoying the series, keep it up dude!
@@airwilliam24 Mineral oil is just oil straight out of the earth. Nothing synthetic about it. Of course bike companies want you to think otherwise so they can push up the price, just look at Shimano brake fluid. If you don't believe me, try running your car on mineral oil without additives.
I was doing a solo trip through New Zealand...I got into some really muddy trails and then couldn't fine chain lube nearby and my chain was getting pretty stiff. I had olive oil for cooking...worked great on the chain too! Sand sticks, but, better than a dry and stiff chain! On another trip into W. Virginia for some DH stuff I had a last minute brake issue....I had to do a bleed but didn't have any mineral oil(or was it dot5?). Olive oil! Yep...bled the line with olive oil for the rear brake, and despite the steep downhills and me being over 200 pounds...I had no issues
I've used canola oil on my bikes and it was okay, but in the extreme winter we have here in Canada it is not so great as it gets thicker. I always add a bit of graphite powder to my chain oil (a regular light oil, which is also cheap, used primarily for sewing machines and other household applications). The oil is light and penetrates the links well. The graphite is a dry lubricant and it does not get washed off as easily. I still wear out my chains, but they seem to last quite long.
You can try paraffin oil with paraffin wax, about half and half, depending on the type you have. Melt the wax over low heat, add the oil, mix, then dip the chain when it is very clean. A new chain should also be cleaned, soaking in solvent and cleaning with a towel works well. Of course it's for winter, in summer it doesn't last long. If you've got the right ratio it's the best thing you'll ever have, you won't have to renew it for months on end.
Back home in the 🇵🇭 when buying a zefal lube was too much for us to buy in order to maintain the chain in our bikes, we used cooking oil then go for a ride after 2 to 3 mnths we clean the chain using kerosene then relube again with cooking oil and all really went well. No issues at all.
Growing up in the ghetto I have used this type of oil. Once I made money from repairs on neighborhood bikes, I was able to afford my own bicycle chain lube.
Didn't the cooking oil polymerize and become rubberish over time? It does for me in the kitchen...I would assume it does the same on the chain. (Sunflower oil.)
@@sonnyboy2026 This is true if you oil a wooden surface or a cutting board, but on the bike it doesn't matter because by the time it finishes polymerizing you already clean it because of all the dust and dirt that sticks.
I've read canola isn't really good as a foodstuff - its qualities are more like technical oil (if that's correct) and they didn't recommend it to use in a kitchen. Now, I'll make a correction - I'll not use canola in a kitchen except I lube bicycle chain in there.
Ok so I’ll throw a spanner in the works. I also ride motorcycles in the bush. Years ago I stopped using any lube on the chain because it just turns into grinding paste with dirt and grit. I just run them dry and get much better life. I use Rock N Roll extreme on my pushies. Seems to be ok.
I've always cleaned my chains this way. I use brake parts cleaner from an auto parts store which strips all the dirt and grease away and dries very quickly.
I've put 10,000km on a chain lubed with motor oil🤣 If it's capable of lubricating an engine. It can lubricate a chain, only downside is it's messy, and leaves black residue all over the components but is manageable if you clean regularly.
I've done the same since I got my first bike when I was 14. I'm 61 now. I've never had a problem. I had also a motorcycle for about 10 years and I never had to change the chain or something else. When it's a little bit dirty or dusty, just clean properly and apply it again. 🚴♂️👌
@@jaimeacosta4791 motor oil collects way to much dust in the summer though. I ended up just spending $20 on wd-40 dry lube , and wet lube. Definitely worth it.
Pretty sure the english name for your degreaser would be "white spirit" or "mineral spirits". There are various other names in different countries and for specific variants, e.g. naphtha (I've found polish sites selling products labelled "white spirit" as "benzyna extrakcjyna".)
In English, 'Benzyna ekstrakcyjna' is called Petroleum Ether. It's a light oil fraction, i.e. a mixture of different substances with a similar range of boiling points. Here are the English and Polish wikipedia entries: pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eter_naftowy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_ether
Nice one! thanks for the excellent lesson! Hate to argue with you but highest quality e-bikes (like Stromer) have a rear hub engine.. Its just that bosch controles the market with their solution. 1 . T 2. a & b 3. dip it in acid ;-)
I usually use polyurethane paint thinner to clean the chain deep. also always put a magnet under the bucket to collect the metal dust and prevent it from going back into the rollers. furthermore, after this step I soak the chain in very thick heated motor oil, and leave it there until it stops bubbling. then I let everything drain and clean thoroughly with a rag. are a few steps but for someone like me who travels for thousands of km it gives its results
Hi. Here are the answers to your quiz. 1. True, 2. A & B, 3. Spray some degreaser on a rag and pedal in reverse to remove the pre lube from the factory, and add some new lube if necessary. Some suggestions to remove grease from a dirty chain, I use mineral spirits or paint thinner. It works great. To remove rust I use apple cider vinegar, I believe it is less expensive than the acid you use, plus the vinegar is re-usable. Try it, and do not drink it, it is nasty. I also use synthetic motor oil, to lube parts and pivot points. I use motor oil to lube the chain. Any thoughts ?
Microfiber cloth are easier to clean and wash the cloth clean of the dirt if you use the right detergents to clean....like black dirt oil. Use oxygen based cleaning products to wash or soak the cloth.
5:20 My previous chain was a cheap one and lasted just over 4000km. 7:20 We call it "wasbenzine" in Dutch. I think it's called white gas in English, but I'm not sure.
Best use I've seen for canola oil and great results so far. I doubt canola oil would perform well in a lubricity test against petroleum products. The specialty chain lube products have gotten out of control price wise. Wonder how canola would perform adding graphite and/or PTFE?
One more comment.... Cheap lube... but don't want it dripping off like Canola.... Has anyone tried Chainsaw BARLUBE... It has additives to make it stick... but is cheap...
Thank you for the detailed video! I'm seeing lube applied both on the inside circumference (1st part where you had bottle below the cassette) and the outside circumference (2nd part where you had bottle above the cassette). FYI for readers, many others recommend only to apply lube to the inside circumference of the chain. I think the main reason is that centrifugal "force" pushes lube from the inside to the outside as the chain goes around, so better coating and maybe even a little unidirectional grime flush action.
I feel waxing the chain is the best option for me . Drive train including the chain lasts a long time and I don't do detailed cleaning just a dry cloth wipe off . Now I live in the high desert so my only problem is dust . The wax is not a liquid so the dust doesn't mix with it .
@@msmanager2775 As long as it can be liquefied so it can penetrate into the links I did see why not exploring the possibility . I microwave my squirt before I apply . It appears being heated gives it a more drier finish
@@msmanager2775 You can probably use vegetable oil and be ok . I live in a dusty land and having something that the dirt is not attracted to and provides a lubing effect is good for me
So is light or pomace olive oil or whatever they call oil extracted using petrol based stuff. It has image of olives on a can so people still buy it mistakenly thinking it's same olive oil just cheaper.
From all the dirty chains I’ve seen, I’d say cleaning and getting rid of dirt is more important than what lube you use. Most people can apply lube, but don’t do hear enough on prep side!
I tried this over twenty years ago and found that veggie oil gums up on the derailleur and was very difficult to clean. I don’t recommend it for mountain biking.
After six months of using canola oil in the summer, the feeling is that it polymerizes just like the dry lube oil I used before. Winter is about to arrive here and I'm looking forward to seeing if it behaves differently in the cold.
@@frederikmartenstoft4569 As long as you clean after each ride it's fine. It is better not to oil with canola after cleaning when the bike is going to sit because it lowers the quality of the lubrication before the next ride, because the oil polymerizes and turns black within two days in reaction with the oxygen and the metal. It does protect the chain from rust but you will need to clean it before the next use and re-oil it.
@@frederikmartenstoft4569 Regarding the cold, there is no problem, and because there is no dust here in the winter, the chain is cleaner than in the summer.
Add Vegetable Glycerine Liquid to thicken it. Phenolic Extracts of Olive Leaf and Exhausted Olive Pomace may help (I think certain chain oil bikes may use it).
HI, my friend i love your channel. lubing your chain is very important. i brought a 2013 Nishiki mountain bike as a starter for mountain bike . The person that i brought the bike from didn't take care of the chain so i had to buy another crankset , i looked around the same crankset which was sun tour super power flow. I found one and the price was $ 3,400 dollars! because sun tour stopped making that one. So some people where selling it for a higher price than it ordinally costed. '"LUBE YOUR CHAIN PEOPLE" I went another route and used Sram crankset and the bike rides great.
Canola oil? Don't food oils have acids in them? Also: 1) true; 2) A&B; 3) Wipe off the excess lubrication from the outside of the chain before the first ride.
1) T : 2) A & B : 3) Clean the pre-delivery protective coating off the chain and drive components. Then lubricate the chain and drive components {rear cassette, front crank chain rings, intermediate or idler pulleys} again with fresh lubricating oil. Cheers, Peter
I'm using Neste Avora-aerosoli it's made for industrial open gears, chain and cables, price is about 3 times canola, but if cooking oil does the job I'm in.
It has 100 and a few links. I go one drop for each one, takes a couple of min but im sure all got lubbed penetrating inside. Then, clean excess, done. To clean, if you want to be paranoid with it, after cleaning with benzine/petrol, degrass with cheap brake cleaner, that also ensures it comes out totally dry, ready for lube.
unleaded auto gas with a hi octane will work! as a auto mechanic use it to clean parts! it is aggressive at cleaning and super flammable! a alternative would be k1 kerosene as it has a low flammability and leaves a light oil coting. lighter fluid works to. interesting experiment!
Canola oil is the bad news for your bike chain. Yes, it is better than no lube at all, but worse than synthetic bicycle chain greases because it is acidic and will be eating your chain slowly which leads to a shorter life of your chain in the long run.
If you take care of the chain a lot, the canola oil might work. I use Methanol to shake the chain from time to time. I like the Connex reusable quick links.
Q1 T not lubing chain is one of most expensive things to neglect on bike. Q2 Worn or lengthened chain will case wear to a. cassette and b. chain ring Q3 new chains from factory come with sticky wax or lube that can attract dirt best to clean it off the outer plates with degreaser. Looks like I will be buying some canola oil soon, or since I am Italian/American might have to conduct an olive oil experiment
