Dry Lube question

[indysteel]

Which of the Rock 'n Roll dry lubes are you using? Red or Gold (I'm assuming it's not the Blue). That makes a difference, as the Red is thinner than the Gold.

It is the Gold - that is for both mountain and road bikes (they have two others, one for road and another for mountain).

It does, thanks! I keep getting mixed signals about frequency of lubing, but am coming to understand that some people have very strong feelings about this - wherever they fall on it. This is helpful, thanks!

It's based on graphite as being a lube that can handle incredible high amounts of pressure before the oilfilm will break and metal to metal contact occur (wich is wat chainwear causes).

It's a dry lube that doesn't attrackt dirt or at least minimal. It's best in dry conditions and not in the wet.

Put a drop on each link, rotate the crank a few times and let it dry for some hours. Than put a paper or cloth under your chain and rotate again as the particles will fall on the floor and you do not want to let this happen on your carpet as it's graphite ...

I love the stuff over anything else, but than again who know's what tomorrow will bring for new products ...
