I'd personally use a chainwhip

'Liquid silk' is best for big cogs

I actually had to google that to see whether it really existed. I thought it was another euphamism for "gentleman's relish" or "chef's secret sauce" or somesuch

as it says above...thanks

yep Vi, you can. Ideally something heavier (copper lube or actual grease) would be better but anything to stop the cog seizing will be good enough

I use this one, because I like the smell

I imagine it will hurt no matter which lube you go for.

Start off by trying a smaller sprocket.

ok, thanks. i will use the sameone then.

let's do that....

@everyone else: -1 for derailing before answering the question. No wonder so many women don't bother with this forum :(

Shut up, Fred...

A tube of the lithium grease above shouldn't be more than about £3 from your local bike shop. Well worth investing in. Chain oil isn't really heavy enough and pretty much all of the threads on your bike should have some grease on to prevent seizures etc.

There is also a certain satisfaction in cleaning stuff up with WD40 then applying a bit of grease and doing it all properly, although this possibly comes with time.

How the funk were we supposed to know this was a wimmin?

LFGSS <3 wimmin. FACT.

No wonder so many women don't bother with this forum :(

1. how would anyone have known this was a woman before you mentioned it? Got the same reply as I reckon anyone else would.

2. Just because someone's a woman doesn't mean she needs treating with kid gloves! Women don't bother with the forum because they don't care, not because everyone acts like infantile knobs - people act like that in the real world too!
