Syrup as Lube

[david16v]

I also regularly use choclate body paint as chamois cream.

 

This could look nasty after a ride

I prefer Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Much healthier, but not as tasty.

You must try the Extra Slutty Olive oil. It spreads alot easier.

 

Okay, I see the door.

so you're actually starting to look after your bike! that guy at the bike shop must have been quite convincing. although you might want to try some normal lube.

The bees will just love you on the 94.7

The same reason I why snort sherbert when I've got a cold. It does nothing for the cold but the snot tastes better.

Dont worry about that ..... a swarm of bees will clean it up and then just leave it in the rain for the final cleaning!!!!!!!

 

Maybe we should get Squirt to bring out a maple, Blueberry and Raspbery flavoured lube...... looking at all the comments there would definitely be a market for it!!!!!!!

This sticky topic will soon become a slippery slope!

Must try that one

[Goodbadugly]

One plus point is that if you leave your bike near a nest of black ants, they can clean your chain for you while you sleep.

[Guest agteros]

Anybody with comparisons between Maple and Golden Syrup?

Which of the two is preferred for dry & dusty vs wet & muddy?

[Bloupanda]

no
