isra Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Odd question, but I got a can of Dupont Chain Saver - the stuff in the yellow can - it seems to do a nice job. I've gotten into the habit of spraying it on the chain after nearly every ride while the chain is still hot. My chain looks clean and hasn't had any issues after 2100mi so I suppose it works well. My question is though, I spray rather haphazardly and some gets on the beautiful blue painted wheels. It hasn't seemed to ruin the wheels or paint yet but should I be more careful? Or will dry chain lube not affect the paint? Thanks guys (and gals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member rowdy Posted August 13, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 13, 2015 I use the same stuff and just wipe down my rims and tires with a rag or paper towels after I'm done. It will not affect the paint... not a problem. Why can't left turners see us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hobbs Posted August 13, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 13, 2015 It will get the rims dirty quicker, but that's about the extent of it. Do however avoid spraying the tire tread. Everything went braap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I've been thinking about using some dry chain lube but I can't help but wonder if one sticks to the chain better when in the rain. All I know is the wet stuff I use feels waxy when dry and I'm confident it sticks really well. How about that dry stuff, anyone know?

Premium Member rowdy Posted August 13, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 13, 2015 Dupont Chain Saver is not really "dry", it too dries to a waxy finish. That said, I would still rewax after doing much riding in the rain. Why can't left turners see us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isra Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 I basically just put it on the chain after every ride. Or after rain or washing the bike. It seems to be holding up well. What i like about it is that it doesn't fling and is basically no mess. Chain has no rust and is in good shape : And easy to apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Cool! I will give the dry stuff a shot. Thanks! Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
