gold chain
 

I am shortly going to fit a DID gold chain and sprokets, I currently use Castrol chain wax as a lube (because it doesn't fling off much) but the chain always looks orible, What chain lube would anybody reconmend for the gold chain (without fling off) and so you can still see that it's gold.:(

We use Motul chain lube, we also sell the Castrol chain wax but I am of the opinion that it doesn`t penetrate as well as the lube, this shows itself in the condition of the chain after several thousand miles use. The lube chain tends to be in a better condition than the chain wax. By the way we have also stopped supplying DID chains because of the number of failiures we were experiencing, just thought you might like to know.

what chain set would you reconmend??

Would this help?
 

Sorry about the cross-posting, but I wondered if this would help. I have:

Baines Racing quick change rear sprocket carrier
Renthal 37T Rear Sprocket to fit above
Renthal 38T Rear Sprocket to fit above
Regina 525 Gold chain, sized correctly to fit above

All used for one season of track days only - completely unworn.

Drop me a mail or call me on 07831 300355 if you're interested.

Not wanting to put more of your heard-earned into Castrol's coffers, but if you're happy with their product (as am I), then why not think about their Chain Cleaner. It's excellent stuff and brings my gold chain up like new. and clears all the crap out in one easy application ready for re-applying the wax.

On the penetration front, it's best to apply the wax straight after a ride, when the chain's warmer. I apply it down the middle (whilst turning the rear wheel) and then over the links on either side. I do this at the point where the inside face meets the rear sprocket.

The forces involved in the chain rotating over the sprockets at high speed should force the wax right through the links to the outer edge thus offering complete coverage/penetration.
