Reddit reviews DuPont Teflon Chain-Saver Dry Self-Cleaning Lubricant

Because whatever oil you're using is a wet lubricant so all of the dust and dirt and shit from the road sticks to it.

A more expensive lock might be cheaper for you, at this point.

Also, locks need maintenance too. Doubly so where you live. Let me just copy and paste Kryptonite's directions here:

>We recommend you clean & lubricate your lock(s) using these guidelines: If you are in an area that tends to have harsh climate changes with snow, rain or you're near the ocean, we recommend a monthly clean & lube. Otherwise, perform this maintenance on a bi-monthly basis. The areas of the lock you should focus on maintaining include the cylinder, deadbolts, u-shackle ends, or the lock-pin attached to cables.

>Step #1- Clean the above listed parts with a rag first (Note: If extra grime or corrosion is present, clean first with a degreaser spray or a WD40 type product. WD40 is not a lube, it is for cleaning.)

>Step #2- The lube type we recommend for all our locks is a "wax base" lubricant with added TEFLON. WAX helps as a carrier for the lubricant to coat and cling to the internal metal parts while TEFLON is a good slippery additive that gets in between the moving parts and reduces friction. Add a few drops on the above listed parts, then insert the keys. Turn the keys 5-10 times. This will keep the lock working great. Examples of this lubricant can be found in many local Bicycle or PowerSports shops, and Hardware stores.

That's one such lubricant, if you're wondering.

That's pretty normal for many lubes. They're sticky so that they won't fly off when the bike is at speed, but that means they'll gather dirt and fly off anyway.

You could try changing to a dry, wax-based lube like DuPont Chain Saver. I use that stuff and don't get the greasy build up as bad.

That stuff is ok, but it doesn't last long. I'd go with DuPont Teflon Chain Wax. https://www.amazon.com/DuPont-Teflon-Chain-Saver-Self-Cleaning-Lubricant/dp/B00KMMFE8Y

It's available in a small aerosol to throw in a saddlebag on take on the road. I've been using it for about 35k miles on my streetbike and the chain still looks new.

I've been using it on my dirtbikes for over 10 years, and it is simply the best. My chain is cleaner and quieter than all my riding bros that like to use Maxima or Silkolene or any of that goopy messy stuff.

I wish I was aware of Dupont Chain Saver with Teflon when I started riding. It is pretty amazing stuff.

I have been using this for chain lube:

It is, frankly, amazing. It goes on like WD40. What I like about it is that it dries to a waxy like consistency so that it doesn't fling off all over the place and it isn't tacky and doesn't attract dirt like more liquid libricants.

I actually use it on a street motorcycle chain as well and have been very satisfied with that application as well.

EDIT: It looks like they changed the formulation of the multi-purpose lube. It is no longer a dry wax lube and is therefore not suitable for chain use anymore. :-(

They say that this is similar to the old formula, but I haven't tried it yet. I will soon since I am almost out of the old stuff. :-(

Pick up some chain lube, a can of plexus, and a microfiber towel. These are really simple things that are easy to overlook, but make a difference.

It's pretty easy to roll the bike a couple feet and spray the chain in sections every few hundred miles even without a stand.

I'm always surprised at how much less fatiguing a long ride is with a clean visor. Just less things for your brain to process if there aren't as many bugs in your vision.
