Smoove Lube

[Daniel XTR]

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.

Now let us know how they compare when cleaning.

I was in the exact same boat as you, products and thoughts

Have finished my second bottle now and can say this at a very high level:

 

Pros:

 

Good protection

Doesn't get lost in water or dirt

 

Cons:

 

Very stubborn to clean

[GreatGusto]

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.

Cleaning is so easy. Hot (kettle) water and old toothbrush. If you really need it, sunlight soap.

I like my chain looking like this after a scrub with my brushes and soap

Clean-Green FTW!

Here is smoove after 2 rides on my girlfriends bike, I have to clean this *** off.

 

Her cassette as well

 

 

This isn't fun for me

Oil. Just use oil. Everything else was made by some marketing department.

Simple. Applying too much.

+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

Gun metal oil works

Q20 oil works super great too ! Just dont flood your chsin with it ! You need a few drops and you sorted !

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
