Fwiw I've always found that the better chain lubes tend to do that Rossgo. If I'm lubing a chain with spray I clean it 1st & chack for any tight spots, Then spray one good coat onto the inside of the chain at the point where it meets the rear sprocket whilst rotating the wheel slowly. Then I leave the bike, ideally for a few days, before I use it.Rossgo wrote:...when I span the wheel it cobwebbed up,
I take a very similar approach:StMarks wrote:If I'm lubing a chain with spray I clean it 1st & chack for any tight spots, Then spray one good coat onto the inside of the chain at the point where it meets the rear sprocket whilst rotating the wheel slowly.

That approach seems to vastly reduce the fling IMHO.
Cheers StMarks. I have not used a decent lube for quite some time like I have mentioned but it oozes with quality! I will definitely wait a few days. Did it yesterday and I need an MOT so guessing it won't be used until Saturday anyway! I generally clean the chain as well before lubing however fully cleaned the bike and the chain only a couple of weekends ago and I managed to piss the neighbour off while I was doing it so I best wait a few weeks more before redoing it haha!!StMarks wrote:Fwiw I've always found that the better chain lubes tend to do that Rossgo.

From all the good reports I read, I really should try that stuff Blade. My current can is about empty iirc, so I think I'll invest in a can of Wurth next time I see it on offer.Blade wrote:I use Wurth Dry chain lube and get excellent mileage from chains and never get an fling off even if I lube just before a ride.
With Gary I hope, his MOT station is now fully openRossgo wrote:Booked up MOT for Saturday
