I've always wondered if copper grease would work as a body bronzer.

Re: Recommend me a chain lube.
My go to stuff is Motul C2 chain lube, I’ve used various other stuff which I still have a stock of but this stuff is by far my favourite to use. I also love the C1 chain clean which I believe is better than the rest, I’ve used them all and the others don’t compare.
I also use the chainmate tool which makes it so much easier to apply lube. The finish is the best if you ask me and the fling is minimum if any. The chain is a sealed unit so essentially all you’re doing is preserving how it looks and keeping the seals clean, free of debris and in good condition which keep the lubrication from factory in place, I find that degreasing the chain periodically (depending on usage and weather) helps with seeing any issues as well, it’s like when you wash your bike frequently, you notice things. It’s satisfying as hell seeing the chain get so clean.
For me, scottoilers are pish and messy, had them and hate them. Don’t be lazy, finger out and get it done and looked after the proper way.
