stewie911 Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Wanted to try new lube for some time now. Couple of questions: I use dry wax based squirt at the moment on my mtb and road during winter and summer(wet) conditions. For what conditions can chain L be used? What I like about the wax based dry lube is that I can touch the chain without getting black chain marks on my hands. How is chain L? CanI use chain L on my derailleur etc?
Chain-L Posted June 25, 2010 Author Posted June 25, 2010 How much is Chain LHi Kieran, R100 per 120ml plus R20 postage anywhere in SA.
knersis Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Seems cool for the road bike, but prefer Rock n Roll Extreme for my MTB for muddy terrains , will do some more testing when it is dry and dusty.

Being a wet lube, it is impossible to have a sparkling clean chain, but if applied and then wiped as clean as possible after is soaked in, it is possible to run the chain very clean. You can also give the chain a dry wipe after the ride with no need to apply more lube after every ride. Everybody prefers an ultra clean chain, but unfortunately that is impossible with a wet lube. A dry lube simply cannot do the same job for lubricating your chain and giving you smooth running, slick shifting, eliminates chain suck in really extreme conditions and staying in your chain for much longer. This will in the long run also save you some money on replacing chains and chainrings due to less wear causing friction. Let me know if you have more questions.

"Dry Lube simply cannot do the same job"? Why not?"eliminates chain suck in really extreme conditions and staying in your chain for much longer": Chain suck is caused; primarily by worn chainrings, a slackish chain and force applied, after lube and into any ride the lube is soon void from the outer rollers, a well lubed chain is evident within the rollers and pins!
anthemboy Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 My partner and I used Chain-L in the Trans Baviaans. I have used it for a while now and my partner for the first time. We applied it once the night before the race en wiped the chain clean before the start. We were very impressed with how quiet the drive train was. Shifting was always smooth. We do keep our bikes dry though, which also helps. I applied some squirt at Berg Plaas just for the hell of it. I'm sure it was not necessary. We were both amazed how quiet our chains were climbing out the Never Ender with all the other bikes squeaking away. I am about to order more of this. Good product!
