Shepherd Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Hi guys, So been using White Lightning lube for a long time now however its now R 140 last night when I bought... granted it lasts fairly long its just crazy price for lube? Use to use Squirt before white lightning but its too thick as well as the fine dust in the cane fields it turns into paste that chows you components. . . . Keen to hear your thoughts...
LongDonkey Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) The white lightning clean ride version is useless for dusty rides. Dunno if anyone else has noted this Edited February 2, 2014 by TooTall? madbradd and Greg29 2
feetup Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) No Flats Joe's Dry Lube http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/no-flats-joe-s-dry-lube-2013/rp-prod94764 R82 for 30ml lol but it is dry and "sticks like s h i t to a wet blanket" without any build up what so ever! Where did our parents come up with phrases like this? Edited February 2, 2014 by feetup
Grebel Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Go buy a tin of chain lube/wax from your local engineering shop or motorcycle dealer. a WHOLE lot cheaper than bicycle lube. Otherwise 5lt GTX. Should lube you up for a while.
Skylark Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Apparently ATF fluid is good (automatic transmission fluid) synthetic if possible, around R50 for 500ml.I'm trying that next, castrol synthetic manual gearbox oil works well, a bit thick though but stays on and does the job, I may try thin it a bit with magnatec 5W.

camelman Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Motorex dry lube. I find that it is just enough of a dry lube for dusty rides, but has enough oil in it to lube the chain as well without making it overly dirty. dracs and Cassie 2
Sepia Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Engine oil works for me and I have been using it for years. Just lube properly and wipe off. And as Redlight said, do it long before you ride.
madbradd Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 The white lightning clean ride version is useless for dusty rides. Dunno if anyone else has noted this +1 Tried it last winter.... not great for jhb winters. Currently using finish line ceramic. Perfect for your road bike if you don't mind a black (not gunky) chain. And working well on the mtb too.

Shepherd Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 http://www.thehubsa...._hl__chain lube Do a search Shot, did search "lube" however came up with nothing... Interesting read though... what lube do you use?
TALUS Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 I use the lot. Dont think any of them is worth the crazy cost. Will try oil next.
R3SL Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Purple Extreme, must apply the previous day and wipe of excess, the key is really the night before bit with any lube.
