Woo hooo!
Number 1 product review in the New and Improved Bikes and Products thread!
Today Ladies and Gentlemen,
Chain Lube - for those of us with no shafts (i mean umm..., well, you know....and you trendy bastards with Scott Oilers can bugger off too)
Cleaning and maintaining a chain is awesome, if you're a masocist.
Ah, first up is "Chain Lube", from Golden Spectro. Its oil / lpg based, and O-Ring safe. It's a bit of a shitter this one i reckon. Cleaned my chain using the good ol Kero, dried it, took it for a short run to heat the chain, put it on, and within 700-800 kms my chain was dead dry (had rust spots!). Rim and entire rear of bike coated in black spooge. 3/10.
Next up, "Chain Wax (and cable lube)" from Maxima. Wax based and O-ring safe. This stuff (so far) is the shizzer. Normally take the bike for a ten minute quick run after letting the lube "set" to dislodge the worst of the spooge , with this stuff i got back and never even had to wipe a surface, and i'm a fussy fussy fussy bastard. Chain is nice and "lubey" looking. Will tell more after this weekends rally in Timaru.
Next Installment: Zero Gravity Double Bubble screen.
Rock (ride) on!
Reviews wanted for Scott Oilers (you bastards) and K&N Filters (air / oil)
