I have a question on what I should use on the chain in a bicyle and for gear inside a lawn mower. Normally, I would use grease for this stuff. But I come across a product call Dry-Lub that is supposed to be dry to touch. I think this sounds great for putting it in the chain of a bicyle to avoid dirty grease from getting into our pants. I have a couple questions though:
- Is Dry-Lub appropriate for being used in a chain of a bicycle?
- Should I clean out all the grease from the chain first before putting on Dry-Lub onto it? I think I should if I want to prevent grease from getting onto my pants. What kind of solvent should I use to remove the grease without damaging the metal chain?
- I have already bought a can of Dry-Lub. I doubt that I can use it up just for the bicycle. I am wondering whether I can use the remaining Dry-Lub in the gears of a lawn mower?
- Can I use it on metal surface of gardening tools to prevent rust?
Thanks in advance for any info.
