- No paid promotions, not selling you anything here and the proof is in the pudding... If there was a retarded expensive lube that worked better id be the first guy to have it.... Don't believe the hype and marketing BS to try and sell you fancy snake oil.... Also don't believe those "chain checker" tools.. but thats another video for another time... If you want top performance and are willing to spend 60 seconds every 100mi (160km) or so to do it theres no better way than this. No, this is not the best if you want to do 500+miles or once a mo intervals, ive averaged 160-200 miles intervals in the past due to doing 65mi avg rides but the thing stays looking brand frickin new all the time when you do it every 130ish miles... Again, didn't mis-speak in the vid, this 12 speed DA chain has an honest ~15k mi or 25k km on it and is still in "ok" shape according to industry specifications. That said, chains do NOT wear at a linear rate, almost all of its wear likely accumulated within the last 3k on it so i'm planning on only putting another months worth of miles on it, measuring and tossing it to put my fresh one on for when I get my visa for going overseas with it!
Let your preconceived notions of this go and JUST TRY IT!!!!

Forget your preconceived notions about this, JUST TRY IT! and when I get a brand new chain I take a ziplock bag, coil the chain up neatly and put a lot of wd40 in the bag and jiggle it around while its lying flat and coiled up, let sit for an hour then jiggle it again and do that a few times the let sit over night, put it on and wipe off excess lube.
dang, I always wonder how that sand was getting everywhere. didn't occur to me that it was from the front tire flinging onto the chain. I always figured it was the wind blowing it
nice bike .. hope i got 1 for my work

I'm watching from the UK. Fascinating! All the usual cycling channels tell you that WD40 isn't a chain lube at all and shouldnt be used as such. However in a world where the likes of Silca are flogging tiny £30.00 bottles of mineral lube, or chain waxing systems costing way more, i really want to believe you.
clean your cassette and chain ring then give it a try for a week and see how everything shifts and.stays clean.
What about in wet/winter conditions? I live in the UK so wax seems to work best in the wet. Cheers 👍
@@charliehargreaves7344 I don’t ride in the wet or plan on it anyways, if I get caught in the rain I respray it after washing bike that day.
@@HeyWattsUpCycling Me neither but unfortunately, the UK weather has other ideas. If you do get caught in the rain does the WD40 hold up till you get home, nothing worse than a squeaky chain...
@@charliehargreaves7344 yeah it does.
