Do I think it matters on lubes? Not sure I rode with a lot of people and seen some articles that persuade either way. I have tried a few lubes from the extra dry to wet and all in between. I have found one that is way different from the other lubes (not taking anything away from what is out there). Some of the lubes I have used are the Boeing t9 which I used all last year and loved it. Also the Pedro's Extra Dry formula worked great the year before. The Lemonde tech unfortunately I would not use again (reminder my own opinion). This year I have gone to a different style called Rock n Roll lube. It actually puts on a synthetic layer over the chain. It stays on for a long time and really quiets the moving joints. Some of the downfalls is that it a little extra work and little pricey. Once it is on you need to wait a few minutes and then wipe it off. So it is a little more work then the other lubes but I think it last longer and better especially this spring when it rained/snowed on us so much. Please post what you have used and you likes and dislikes. Here is the link to the lube www.rocklube.com Check it out. Not available in the Logan Bike Stores that I have seen. I am still evaluating it. But so far on a scale of "purchase again" or "give away to the newest rider" I would purchase it again. I currently have the extra dry for my road and the gold for my MTn.
Cheers
Loving the blogy
Rex: When we talked about this before lunch I thought you were referring to chamois butt butter stuff. But that's a different subject altogether, eh? :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll still look for that DZ article and post it here...
