Chain oil /Lube

Post by Connieboy » May 31st, 2018, 1:54 am

Hi
So I think it's time to do some maintenance on my chain and I was just wondering about the best oil/Lube to use, I've ridden push bikes for years and have used many different brands to maintain my cycle chains, just wondering if I could use something like Weldtite TF2 Teflon Lube 400ml Spray on the rower chain, I don't really want to use something that is too thick and gloopy.
Thanks
Conrad

You didn't look very hard. There's a hundred posts on here about oil.

You need to use a 20W oil. The chain isn't used like the chain on a bike so high-tech bike lube may not be suitable.
