Dupont Multi-Use Teflon Lube - 30,000km check in

[SPP]

Dupont Multi-Use Teflon Lube
This seems to be the real deal. I've used it exclusively since changing my chain and sprockets and just adjusted the chain for the first time after putting 30,000km on it. Not bad IMO.

No tight spots, all rollers spin freely, sprocket teeth look to be in good nick, chain tension is consistent throughout the entire chain length which means it has stretched evenly.

The BEST thing about this stuff is how clean and easy it is to apply compared with chain gel. All you need to do is drench the chain (it cleans it at the same time) give it a quick wipe then respray and let the excess drip off. It sets up to an even, very slightly waxy texture in about 5 minutes. Try that with gel! Absolutely zero fling and very little road grime build up.

I discovered I had run out (AFTER cleaning my chain) and Repco was out of stock so had to use Gel for the first time in ages. My god, what a PITA to apply properly. There's just too much overspray/wastage and if you get closer to the chain to minimise overspray it just clumps up!

Interesting stuff.

Regarding spraying your chain - I have a A4 sized bit of card that I have bent 90 degrees - I pop this up behind the back of the chain and it takes any overspray and keeps the spray off the tyre etc.

The card is a good idea, I just use a rag. Actually I do'nt find my chain wax hard at all to apply. Put bike on paddock stand, spin wheel with foot while spraying with other hand holding rag. Takes maybe a minute.

Come to think of it maybe the card is a better idea.......lol. I can make the foot redundant that way.....

[SPP]

I should make one of those too. I usually just hold a rag under the chain because the Dupont stuff doesn't go all over the place.

I use my handy-dandy chain cleaner and chain lube application tool. I've got some pix somewhere but can't be bothered digging them out. It's a piece of the thin L-shaped metal they use for the corners of kiwifruit pallets, affixed to a stand. Up the back of it is some strips of plastic from 2L milk bottles riveted on. Any run-off runs down another piece into a plastic container. Cost me $0, and has been invaluable over the 5 or so years I've been using it.
Must get me some of that Dupont stuff though...

I have heard of many motorcyclists liking this stuff as a chain lube. I want to try it myself but haven't been able to find it in NZ. Good to know REPCO carries it. Thanks.

I bought some from Repco the other day. It wasn't cheap at $32.99 but I'm liking it so far.

I do too. Do you bring it in? If so where from and what does shipping cost ya?

I just stumbled across that price SC and have never used it. I use Prolan, as it works well and a hell of a lot cheaper than anything in a can.

Oh. I've just rung Du Pont to find out info about wholesale distribution cause I wanna see if I can buy direct from the importer....I'll be asking why we are being ripped off by New Zealand retailers

[Owl]

Good on yer........and best of luck, though nothing unusual about kiwi's getting ripped.

If I find a source for a reasonable price I'll post here

It would appear that GPI Industries are the importer and supply to REPCO.

GPI are prepared to better their "trade" price of $25 per can depending on the amount I want to buy. I'd be looking at getting a carton of 6 cans at least at a time so for those local enough to benefit (I'm in Auckland) let me know if your interested and I'll put in an order.

GPI are complaining that because it is classed as Dangerous Goods, it is expensive to bring in. They say they know it's a good product but claim it hasn't sold well in N.Z. I made the point that it is prohibitively expensive which means fewer people will discover it....chicken and egg I guess.

I think it's the best thing since sliced bread as a chain-lube but is also brilliant in a wide range of friction reducing applications, so I would hate to see it disappear from the NZ market - so again: Let me know if you want some, save yourselves some $$$ and keep the supply going
