    To degrease my chain I use degreaser. To lubricate it I use chain wax.

    WD40 is none of the above.

    I use it for flushing out cable outers, that is all.

  • WD40 is a water dispersant hence the letters WD . good old soapy water for cleaning the chain
    falling off doesn't hurt....its the landing that hurts

    My first and last experience with WD 40 was to lube all the moving parts on my new Kona (when I got back into biking about 3 years ago). It did a fantastic job of flushing the white grease out of the external BB. Bearings collapsed about 2 weeks later, LBS received £90 of my hard earned cash to fix. It's now kept in a separate room from my bikes!
