Which method would you use to protect a bicycle chain from corroding?

$\huge{\mathfrak{\purple{Answer}}}$

On bicycles… with oil, but use the bicycle-specific products. Not anything made for motorcycles - that stuff is wonderful for those chains, but too thick for bicycle chains.

And do not use WD40 - unless you reapply it daily. The stuff contains some oil, but a very thin one, and is more of a degreasing agent.

$\huge{\mathfrak{\purple{Explanation}}}$

Reapply after riding in the rain (dry chain first!), or go the full mile and degrease before relubing. Apply lube only to the rollers, not the plates of the links, backpedal, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe off with a rag. That will remove any excess oil, and apply a thin coating to the outside of the plates.

“Dry” lube (PTFE or ceramic) works, if you apply it sparingly. Before you do, degrease the chain, sprockets, and the chain rings really good - any lube previously on there will prevent it from sticking. Also it flakes off, so every few hundred km, you will need to reapply. Wash or at least wipe off the chain before you do, to get any dirt off. And be aware that in rain, those are removed much faster than traditional oils

Answer 2

Answer:

white lighting makes several excellent lubricants. it's inexpansive, easy to use, and offers a high level of protection against rust while keeping the chain smoothly when you are ready to lube the chain, prop your bike up on an elevated surface so you can turn the wheels while keeping it stationary.
