If you lube your chain like this every 300 miles, you will not get any significant gunky buildup, and you won't have to clean the chain. Although no lube is "perfect," in my opinion ProLink is the best compromise.
1. Wipe the chain, cogs, pulleys and chainrings clean with a rag.
2. Drip on lube while turning the chain forward so that the chain just starts to drip lube. Aim the lube between the side plates and between the bushings and side plates.
3. Run through all the gears several times, front and back.
4. Wipe the chain, cogs, pulleys and chainrings clean with a rag.
5. Repeat 2-4 if the chain was really dirty.
6. Let the bike sit overnight before riding. |
