My chain keeps getting rusty

What with all the noobs thinking wax lube is wd40? Jesus wept.

Keep the dry lubes for summer. In winter you need a thick old greasy wet lube - and clean it when you can hear the grinding over your ipod.

[pub knowledge] soaking your rusty chain overnight in chainsaw oil might bring it back to life.[/pub knowledge]

yeah.... fucking noobs.
fucks sake god damn it.
jesus fucking wept.

cock knocker.

cheers for the pub tip! they ALWAYS work

My chains keep going orange with rust. It's ok because they match the track cog on the unused side of my rear hub.
Keep meaning to buy a great big container of paraffin and perform proper maintenance but frankly can't be arsed until I can see my flat in daylight.

i think its due to the cog or chainring. when i ran the stainless phil cog i never had an issue, currently running a cheap steel cog and get rust spots on chain when leaving it wet. mmmm

I have been running a SRAM chain I bought in cavendish a whole year ago and it's only just starting to get a bit grumbly. I like em.

for the third time, it's the salt they put on the roads, look at the manhole/drain covers in the dry, they have rust on them

He wept hard......fact.

I let my chain get fucking rusty....eventually it reaches the stage beyond rust and runs pretty smooth again....then the cycle starts all over again and you await further corrosion...

I clean my chain with petrolium based cleaner (carlube) - not the orange peel based stuff - and an old toothbrush in an old baking tray. You can then use the cleaner a couple of times no worries. Then wet lube it. I do this every week in the wet conditions. Chain still looks and measures like brand new.

Just wack the chain in a tub filled about an inch deep in white spirit to degrease it, give it a shake for a minute or too, then let it dry on a radiator.

When dry put it back on the bike and apply wel lubricant - finish line's is pretty good

I clean my chain with the panties of my latest sexual conquest and lube it with the blood of hipsters.

Fat man's cum & The Kook's nosebleed.

Do you need a 3/32 chain?

There's not a ot of idfference between 1/8 or 3/32 from what I've discovered

Agree?

No.

1/8 is wider, your not going to get a 3/32 chain over a 1/8 sprocket.

It depends on your chainring and cogs. You can't run 3/32 chain on 1/8th chainring and cog.

I've been running one of these for the last 4 months, no rust despite my almost complete lack of maintance, noisy though.

edit: actually it was more expensive, and 1/8 too, probably this http://www.dotbike.com/ProductsP3053.aspx?Track=FGL
