Will silicone spray work to lubercate a bike?

Question

It is ment to lubercate stuff, but a bike? (Heavy duty) Will it work on a bike? which is better, that or WD 40.

Answer 1

NEVER use WD40 on a bike unless you are cleaning the chain. It is not a lubricant no matter what the can might imply.



Silicone is not a good idea either. If you want to lube your chain and pivot points buy a small bottle of PTFE based lube from a bike shop. It'll last you a loooong time.

Answer 2

Buy a bottle of Finish Line wet lube for the chain and a bottle of TriFlow for cables and pivot points on derailleurs.

Answer 3

Use teflon lube for chains,derailleurs,gears and silicone spray for your fork.You can use WD40,but it collects more dirt and can be washed away easier than the teflon.
