Anyone know if this is any good on bike chains? A can mysteriously fell in my trolley in Aldi tonight.....

Is it a boil in the tin solid wax?  If so the putoline version is fantastic

Think it would depend, I used a motor bike spray lube on my mtb once, never again, it was super sticky, an absolute dirt magnet.

I think I may have got the Plutoline thing in my head that made it seem a good idea. I'll try it on the commuter to start with....

Many moons ago when I did MX used the boil wax in a tin a lot of hassle just use finish line wet on my MTBs reason why the motorbike spray collects a lot of dirt on a MTB is its designed for chains going a lot faster than a MTB on does.

It is called 'wax' though rather than lube so it is unlikely to be sticky like traditional motorbike lube from BITD.

I use a wd40 motorbike lube but i'm not sure its a wax. I like it. Seems to last well.
