3-in-1 is nice. So many people don't realize WD-40 isn't a lubricant. I worked at a bike store and had to explain to hundreds of DIY'ers every year after they completely ruined their bike's chains and washed out the cassette's internal lube.
- happyopossum 4y agoThe “WD40 is not a lubricant” trope isn’t true - it is a lubricant. That said, it isn’t grease, and can displace/remove grease in situations where you might not want that. [0] https://www.wd40.com/myths-legends-fun-facts/ https://www.wd40.com/myths-legends-fun-facts/
- sbf501 4y agoI should have just said "WD40 is bad for your chain." This was back in the 80's, so we didn't have the internets then. Funny how many myths I promoted, albeit harmlessly.
- xbar 4y agoI ruined several bike chains as a kid with WD40. I didn't understand why they seemed to fail so rapidly despite my vigilance. 3-in-1 is good.
