aceuggy 0 Posted April 19, 2012 I've got some Castrol chain wax in the garage that I've had for years. There is a date on the bottom of the can 30/09/05! Does this stuff have a shelf life, or do you reckon it would be ok to use? Any views on this lube, good stuff or should I bin it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davehutch-hutchs 0 Posted April 19, 2012 I am fed up with telling you all , todays chains are sealed with lubrication between the rings , be it o x what ever all you need to do is stop the friction between the rollers and the sprockets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
