Jaco Steyn Posted October 25, 2006 Share What brand of chain lube do the Hubbers use, and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curly Posted October 25, 2006 Share I prefer White Lightning - the wax base doesn't make as much of a mess (or chainring-tattoo's) and is ok for dry weather riding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho Posted October 25, 2006 Share I've used Finish Line WET for my MTB and the DRY for my Road bike, lately I'm using White Lightning EPIC for both. Used Squirt before asswell and no problems whatsoever. Used White Lightning EPIC now this past weekend at Rhaodes where there was a lot of mud and water and it worked like a dream!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted October 26, 2006 Share Squirt on road bike. Will proberbly on MTB aswell. Oh forgot the "why" part. It really goes on easy and stays clean. Comes off easy with parrafin.Mampara2006-10-26 01:08:38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWdeJager Posted October 26, 2006 Share I've been using wet Finish Line X-Country on both the roadbike and the MTB. On the roadbike I have no complaints, yet on the MTB it seems to wear off very quickly. I can't recommend anything, but would suggest that you stay away from Finish Line Cross Country for MTB applications.

Guest Big H Posted October 26, 2006 Share We used SQUIRT for Offroad on the Tandem for 14 months in very aggressive, dusty conditions. We rode at least 5 to 6 times a week and did approx 3500km. The road is now surfaced and we are using SQUIRT for road bike.... yes on the MTB Tandem!!!!! and he loves it. SQUIRT is optimal for our conditions as there is minimal mess and minimal wax buildup. We experienced excessive buildup when using White Lightning with resulting chain stiffness during the winter months. We destroyed several chains this way. No damage since using SQUIRT. This topic was extensively covered on www.bikeforums.net and cyclists worldwide reported on the excessive wax buildup with WL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTi Posted October 26, 2006 Share I find that Squirt doesn't have any sort of buildup as Big H stated the reason for this though is that is buggers off and leaves you with a dry chain, normally about halfway through a race. Currently I use WL Epic on road and Mtb but if it's really muddy (Last half of TransBaviaans) I switch to Motorex Wet Lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velouria Posted October 26, 2006 Share I use White Lightening EPIC and it works like a bomb. The only gripe I have is that it is quite messy - those chain rings tattoos are embarressing me all the time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
