Chain lube

I can remember when I was a small kid my dad taking his chain of his bike and putting it in a flat round tin with what looked like grease in it and putting the tin on the gas cooker ring and boiling it I can still remember the smell in the kitchen my mum would go mad at him.

Rode a bit of trials as a youth and we used to do the same with the chains off TY175s, clean them off with paraffin then into the boiling can to get the grease into the links

As for chain lube on road bikes I just used good old LM grease for years just wiped onto the inside of the chain with a rag

Now I’m posh, I use some stuff in an aerosol
