Jules Posted January 30, 2008 Share I can thoroughly recommend Motorex dry lube for both road and MTB. I use the one in a spray can because it's easy to apply and seems to penetrate the links better. It lasts longer than I expected it to. I ride my road and MTB bikes a lot, and I have not yet finished two cans in a year. I clean and lube my MTB chain after every ride. The lube doesn't wear off on my road bike and lasts much longer than white lightning, which I found to be bad. Jules2008-01-30 05:24:28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoBigBen Posted January 30, 2008 Share Jules - how much dat Motorex stuff? Have heard other good reports as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted January 30, 2008 Share I think it's about R130 a can. It's worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog_ Posted January 30, 2008 Share Rock n roll blue is great in dry conditions. It sucks in the wet though. I'm trying White Lightning Epic currently and it does the job pretty well. Just stay away from the one in the spray can - it sucks big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMort Posted January 30, 2008 Share Agree about White Lightning not being that good. I'm also using Motorex, but the bottle version which wastes a bit. I'm certainly going to get the spray can version though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Jules, I tried Motorex but found it seemed to stay very wet and I was forever getting chainring tatoos. It is the one in the bottle not the can, do you think I just used too much?

casspir Posted January 30, 2008 Share Pro Gold ProLink chain lube. This oil is great!<?:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><?:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /> I have been using it the last 4 months on both the MTB and road bike. I am impressed. It seems to gather less gunk on the chain, jockey wheels and chain rings. I used on the Rhodes Challenge, and despite my free wheel hub problems, I had no build up of dust/gunk whatever. We had no rain, but ample dust, water crossings, etc. Read the reviews at: http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/Lube/product_22264.shtml The web-site at: http://www.progoldmfr.com/products/prolink.html If your LBS doesn't stock it, contact the SA distributor at +27 82 460 5251 Regards,Kinnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Posted January 30, 2008 Share On the subject of lubing...I have heard of riders lubing during an event, like at a water point. What is the deal with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree though that it's application is a bit messy and you do tend to overlube because the stuff comes out the bottle like a ruptured vein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
