  • +1 for White Lightening....can't remember the name of the one I use but it's in a green bottle

  • Used White Lightning for couple of years and its been great regardless of the weather...not sure how green it is though

  • Anyone used the rock n roll gold? Is it worth the $$ or should I just get extreme instead

  • Green oil ftw.

  • I bought some Rock and Roll extreme and Im not that impressed with the results. Reading the side of the bottle is also more than a bit worrying, fatal if ingested... Im not going to eat it but I've got two cats who drink puddles in the garden. A few drips of the chain lube onto the ground when Im oiling my bike, it rains and get washed into a puddle and no more cats. So everytime I want to lube my chain Im out in the street, then have to make sure it doesn't drip when I bring the bike back through the flat for fear that I might kill something. I think Im going to switch to something less toxic. That Green oil looks like a winner.

  • Given up on the White Lightning Clean; went out Saturday morning for a longish ride and topped up the lube before leaving but after about 3 hours riding in dry weather I was grinding metal in an alarming way.

    Ducked into Evans and grabbed some Finishline Pro Road ceramic and it's a bit of a revelation. Utter silence.

    Resurrect !

    Given up on White Lightning (and other wax lubes) for precisely the same reason above. Will probably switch back to a Teflon based dry lube again, they're all pretty much the same across the brands, right ?

  • Get this stuff, it's easily the best lube I've ever used;

  • Having gone through a fair list of lubes (being a lazy fucker I oil chains rather than cleaning them) I've settled on Finish Line ceramic or White Lightning Epic Ride. They're more or less interchangeably ace.

    Had a look for that last night, nowhere had it, and thought I'd try Finish Line Dry instead. Look suspiciously like another wax based lube...

  • I use this (and a Finish Line XC lube because I've still got some) because andyp does*.

    *actually his shift to Shimano probably means I should watch out for him trying to steal my hair or nail clippings or something..

    is on special offer at condor- £3.99

  • I've heard 'Road CR Finish Line Pro Road Cermaically Reinforced Patented Lubricant Racing - Tours - Triathlons' is quite good.

  • I use a combination of puddles and soil

  • I'm always tempted to buy rock'n roll gold since I hate cleaning chains and I'm allways a bit late when it comes to lubing the drivetrain... But it seems to be quite toxic and expensive and there are a million other lubes out there... Never has a 5-10quid investment been so confusing!

  • I generally use motor oil because ive got some lying around and at a cap full a time it seems to last for ever but i herd some of the pros use a lighter oil then a thicker oil to seal it in.

    do any of you guys use a combination of lubes with different viscosities?

  • Chainsaw oil.

    Because I has a big bottle of it.
