I wouldnt use it because it will wash all the other grease out. If u have brought a new sprocket or driver and kept the same chain that would be why. Because if you change a driver or sprocket you need to change the chain to.

wd 40 is a water displacer , it gets rid of water and prevents rust,


ye itll work, but only for a couple of days.


gt85 is kind of the same, but is specificaly for bicycles.

wd 40 is a de-greaser, which means its helps take grease off, in turn making your chain squeak more.

tri flow and having your chain tight can also be a culprit

wd 40 is water based and comes off easily. get a good chain grease from your shop, its worth the couple dollars
