Lucky Luke. Posted August 21, 2010 Share I've found white lightning is by far the most effective lubrication after a heavy crack binge. http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2009/10/7/1254921575298/A-can-of-White-Lightning--009.jpg Add a fat vodka top and you will feel the landing gear just pop right out beneath you.

dcal Posted August 21, 2010 Share White lightning is definitely better. Why?the lubricant goes deep into the very small spaces of the chain, therefore the whole chain is lubricated. With Squirt it only lubricates the external surface of the chain causing internal friction (metal against metal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Big H Posted August 21, 2010 Share I found the squirt creates wax balls that fall off on your white carpet while on the indoor trainer and makes the wife shout.... so white lightning for me, its a cleaner story. dom...... baie dom.......

Genesis Posted August 21, 2010 Share Tried a couple but Squirt is still the best for me!Use it on Road Bike and Mountain Bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuinSlang Posted August 21, 2010 Share Squirt!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akkedis Posted August 21, 2010 Share I tried both. In normal conditions I prefer White Lightning because it is cleaner but it looks like Squirt performs better in wet conditions. I must ad that I am no expert. Hoekom vra jy? Oorweeg jy dit dalk om 'n MTB aan te skaf? Laas jaar op die Magoebaskloof MTB Challenge het ek 'n tandem MTB gesien. Laat jou nogal dink.......

CJVDM Posted August 21, 2010 Share Squirt for dry and Chain-L for wet. Squirt is cleaner and less mess. Chain-L lasts longer but if i apply as per instructions, it blackens my chain but it lasts much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dassie Posted August 21, 2010 Share Interesting lube review in the latest Tread mag I notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyTrailRider Posted August 21, 2010 Share I tried white lightning (green or blue bottle) and eventually switched to squirt. Seems to last longer, especially when things get wet Yep, I used Squirt for quite a while, and have been trying White Lightning. It's too thin and wears off really quickly, so I'm going to switch back. In wet conditions, nothing beats Finish Line Cross Country wet lube. Awesome stuff.

meerkat Posted August 21, 2010 Share Don't waste your money on overpriced commercial junk... I've used bot of the abovementioned products and to me they are rubbish. I don't want to apply lube every 60km (offroad) I want to apply lube every 2nd ride... or every 100+ km... If you want a wax based lube, get Castrol Chain Wax for motorcycles... R65 at Midas for a 400ml aerosol... I do over 80km per application. If you need a wet lube, get Castrol Lubricut 150 - it's a thick chainsaw lube, which if applied correctly, won't blacken your drivetrain, and lasts many km's. Dirty drivetrain = too much lube applied... The Lubricut 150 you have to buy per 5L as far as I'm aware.. but it will last you YEARS!Excellent idea! will check it out ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted August 21, 2010 Share Also want to get that chainsaw lube. Read up on it and a lot of guys swear by it, also damn side cheaper and I can also use it on my motorbike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29thumbs Posted August 24, 2010 Share Neither heyWax build up, clogs up the chain inside. causing the chain not to work in the way that it should.There is a reason why lubes like Rock n Roll and Purple extreme were developed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chain-L Posted September 24, 2010 Share Squirt for dry and Chain-L for wet. Squirt is cleaner and less mess. Chain-L lasts longer but if i apply as per instructions, it blackens my chain but it lasts much longer.Hi CJVDM. Give this a try. After lubing the chain wipe it as clean as you can (I pressume you already do this). Go out for your ride. Before you go out for the next ride, give the chain another dry wipe to clean away all the excess lube. Dont be scared that you are cleaning all the lube as you can not wipe it enough. More than enough lube stays inside where it is required. I have done more than 300 km on a single application in dusty sandy condition during the Lighthouse to Lighthouse with 30 of those km being on the beach! 200km was during the race and 100km thereafter on training rides.
