I was just wondering what is the best way to apply lubricant.
Do i just get a rag and wipe off any 'junk' off the chains and then apply some lubricant on the chain and roll it through the different gears.
Also, how much lubricant do you put? Just a bit on every chain link or just the bottom half??
Road Bike Lubricant ? ?

I have read many here use Inox as the Aussie option.gururug wrote:pro-link is good stuff, i like the "tube" for application...... lost my pro-link and switched to rock'n'roll and it's a bitch to apply / squeeze out of the bottle at s drop flow.
Are any Australian made?

The "Lanox" or MX4 is a better option it has more lanolin in it. Dries to being quite dry and only a little greasey.CommuRider wrote: I have read many here use Inox as the Aussie option.
