i dont mean to thread jack you, but im wondering what lubes are good aswell. i have an issue, im pretty colorblind. the stuff i have now is gold, and i cant see where ive put it on the chain lol. i dont have a rear stand yet so im always moving the bike back and fourth. does anyone know of one that sprays white perhaps? my buddy had one but it sprayed out really thick, thick enough that i diddnt feel it was seeping into the chain at all. also, do you guys spray both sides of the chain? in the centre?

The BelRay lube sprays on white and stays white. It is easy to use and works excellently--no fling-off--and it is very easy to see where you've applied it. It cleans off the chain well with WD-40 when it's time to re-lube.

Maxxum Chain Wax.

No Fling at all. I apply it after a ride when the chain is warm. Then it sets overnight.

I spray WD40 to clean and lub at the same time. Then I use Castrol wax and clean all the excess off on the plates (it's only in the O/X ring area that it needs lubing). So I have oil under fling free wax. I do this before every single ride.

I switched over to this stuff since buying this bike and it absolutely rocks! Best stuff I've used. Sorry can't help w/the UK purchase though.
