Zwift Ride Chain Lube

Hi there - just bought a zwift ride with whaoo core

The chain comes pre lubed and is very smooth. however, i ride a lot. i used to wac all my chains but it creates a lot of mess inside.

Could anyone recommend a chain routine for zwift ride -

  1. what lube - maybe not a way based? maybe synergetic

  2. cleaning - just a wipe off or boiling water rinse?

thank you in advance !

I use UFO indoor wax on my trainer bike, it’s long lasting to say the least! Not as clean as the usual excess, even the wax drips, bit I think I put it on around may and haven’t topped up since….

thanks ! which one in particular i know they have a few - i used to use it outside !

Are there really multiple UFO indoor wax lubes? I think Alex was rather specific in his reply on what he uses

ok great - can i ask if you have used this with the zwift ride pre lubed chain as i belive is has factory grease which is good for indoors but not outside obvisouly ! thank you ! :slight_smile:

Nope, no idea about the Zwift ride, but if I was putting the above on it I’d strip all drive parts of everything and start from bare metal (which is what I’ve done on my trainer bike)

No direct experience with the Zwift Ride (yet), but the Zwift staff had some comments: Chain lube and maintenance for Zwift Ride frame / bike - #12 by shooj - Zwift Equipment - Zwift Forums
