Hi Can you spray derailleurs and chain with WD40
🙂 just asking
thanks jazu

Yes you can, but it's not really a great idea.

Why do you want to spray them with WD? Cleaning or lubrication?

WD 40 can be used as a cleaner / degreaser for drive train parts - best done after you take them off
of the bike. Then you should wash it all off and use the proper lubricant, which WD is not. So a
better answer would be no you can't, unless you really want to, and then you can.

I've spent most of my money on mountain biking and windsurfing. The rest I've just wasted.

This is what you want to use whtlight.comcleanstreak.htmlOpen ↗ Followed by the lube of
your choice.

Why use a "cleaner" that needs cleaning after it's cleaned?

Thanks for the tip. Haven't seen that stuff before. With all the muck around here, I do a lot of
scrubbing. And I don't want to use an automotive degreaser... Duh...

Before Clean Streak came out, I used WD-40 to clean the White Lightening off my chain, then used
Simple Green to clean the WD off.

Greetings All,

I am a cyclist and truck freak.(Go figure) For "Greywolf", Campagnolo is a component builder, such
as chain rings and shifters. They don't actaully build bicycles. They are the European equivelant of
Shimano. Anyway, spraying WD-40 on a bicycle chain or anything that needs to be kept lubricated in a
big no-no. WD-40 is marketed as a penetrant. I've found that it's also a good degreaser and is great
for removing decal residue from glass. "WD" means Water Displacing and "40" is the formula number.
It was originally developed for use by NASA. They sprayed it on rockets to help prevent corrosion
and condensation from forming and freezing at high altitudes. It's other uses were later discovered
because employees were taking it home to use as a penetrant. I'm not bashing this product because it
is great stuff. But, there are times when it shouldn't be used. P.S.- I lubricate my bicycle chains
with the same 80 weight gear oil I use in my truck's tranny and rear end. It works great.

Is 'truck' a euphemism here?
