It smells nice and is apparently biodegradable. They say it inhibits corrosion and rust. It also seems to perform well and it attracts less dirt than the dry line wet lube. Because of this I have stopped bothering with a dry lube. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2260#post-49908 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:17:55 +0000 crowriver 49908@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's the salt. That's one reason why I swapped my wheelset on the hybrid to an old second hand pair (the other reason was the hassle of getting tyres on and off rims). Less rust on the 'summer' cogs... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2260#post-49906 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:13:24 +0000 Stepdoh 49906@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>May stop in TBC on the way home get something, couple of days in the elements has my chain picking up a worryingly orange patina.</p> <p>Just questioning TBC online as I type. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2260#post-49905 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:11:29 +0000 steveo 49905@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In real crap I use finishline xc. For mountain biking I use a dry lube since I can clean and lube when I get home. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2260#post-49904 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:09:08 +0000 kaputnik 49904@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I also need to find a lube that isn't finishline cross country. Noticed this morning that I'm due a clean / lube session over the weekend. Might see if I can find something new.</p> <p>Surely some of our more mountainous biking enthusiasts should know what's good for mud/wet/grit-laden environments? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2260#post-49899 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:54:37 +0000 Stepdoh 49899@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can't seem to get RnR lube from teh usual stockists, anyone suggests a decent alternative. Quite like the wax in distillate lubes as they keep you're chain cleaner. </p> <p>One winter dealing with the sheer level of crap stuck to my drivetrain put me off finishline cross country for life. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2260#post-23943 Mon, 14 Feb 2011 15:22:52 +0000 Stepdoh 23943@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Your handy LBS will be able to advise and sell you various lotions and potions that will keep you running smoothly. </p> <p>I've also heard it said that there are some online retailers of a wiggly and reactionary nature that stock said items too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2260#post-23942 Mon, 14 Feb 2011 15:19:46 +0000 wingpig 23942@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I thought my Fenwick's soggy-bias (purple) stuff was fine until I saw the morning sun highlighting a little crest of rust on my almost brand-new chain last Thursday. I was going to try Finish Line next. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2260#post-23937 Mon, 14 Feb 2011 15:07:41 +0000 Mabs 23937@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>All this talk of lube and on Valentine's day too.<br /> Well now!<br /> Where can one purchase said lube? Want to keep my new girl running sweet. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2260#post-23927 Mon, 14 Feb 2011 14:37:16 +0000 steveo 23927@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I quite like Squirt in the summer, wingpig wasn't so impressed, its not so good in the winter. I'd go with what you've been using i'm waiting on my cross country stuff to run out so i can buy something better for wet weather. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2260#post-23925 Mon, 14 Feb 2011 14:34:03 +0000 Stepdoh 23925@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My Rock n' Roll extreme lube had its last squirt last night, and since it's payday tomorrow I thought I'd restock.</p> <p>Think the suspended stuff was pretty good as it kept my chain clean as a whistle (as opposed to the finish line wet lube, which seemed to have in-built clag attraction additive) and seemed to make the chain run pretty well. Although it doesn't last long.</p> <p>Should I stick with my knitting or any other recommendations from the panel? </p>
