Daniel XTR Posted June 3, 2014 Share I find the stuff pretty good. Picked up a bottle at Mikes in Greenside this passed weekend. Worked well. Was using purple extreme before this. Net result is much the same. Worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izak Posted June 3, 2014 Share Have finished my second bottle now and can say this at a very high level: Pros: Good protectionDoesn't get lost in water or dirt Cons: Very stubborn to clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatGusto Posted June 3, 2014 Share Tried it for the first time at Trailseeker #1 this weekend and I have to say I was impressed. Few water crossings and lots of dust and not a squeak or grind from the chain. Let's see how the cleaning goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleDom Posted June 3, 2014 Share Cleaning is so easy. Hot (kettle) water and old toothbrush. If you really need it, sunlight soap. finallygotabike, Donovan Le Cok and Spoke101 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren911 Posted June 3, 2014 Share +1 I had heavy creaking which was fixed with oil, after trying lube to no avail. Although I have not tried smoove lube. Just wondering how the oil will hold up in dusty conditions, but so far so good Oil. Just use oil. Everything else was made by some marketing department.

Azza Posted June 3, 2014 Share Q20 oil works super great too ! Just dont flood your chsin with it ! You need a few drops and you sorted ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChUkKy Posted June 3, 2014 Share Simple. Applying too much. Another clever one here. This is after 2 rides The drop applied to each roller cannot get any smaller, so you can also get an invite with the clever OP and come demonstrate next week Friday night. We will ride Saturday 80km or so at Van Gaalens then you guys can re apply so we can go ride Sunday again same distance. Then after we return you can both show me "how easy" it washes off with the soft park tool brush set and Powasol soap. Always a clever one saying you apply too much, come show me how clever you are. I challenge you nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
