Almost everything on ebay if from China these days. I am looking for a suggestion for a chain cleaner and lube. Which ones last and are effective and easy to use and well as a basic lube suggestion -does not have to be the most high end. Thanks!
1 qt Mobil 1 Synthetic + 3 qt Mineral Spirits = 1 gallon of chain lube. You cant beat the price and not only is it not made in China but its made in your own garage!
I use Dupont Teflon chain saver in the small squeeze bottle.
Used it for years on my motorcycle chains and was pleasantly surprised at the great results on my mtb chains.
Almost no buildup of crud and doesn't attract dirt.
I squeeze it on then run the chain through a rag to clean the chain then reapply a small amount.
For lubing my choice is Chain-L, attracts a lot of dirt after applying, just wipe it with a rag after the first ride and forget about any more dirt and lubing for a long time.
The best chain cleaner is just plain old dish soap and a brush. It is safe for the environment and it won't destroy your bikes finish or your saddle if it gets on it. The best lube depends on the conditions you are riding in. For California in dry dusty conditions I like White Lightning.
