I love White Lightning - it keeps the cable pivots of my tele bindings
from squeaking and prevents ice from sticking. It's also great for
keeping the climbing lift wires snapping into place easily.

Actually
I have found a use for my old bottle of White Lightning, I use it to
quiet the door hinges in my 90 yr old house, works great at keeping the
squeaks down, now if I could just get it to work on the floor boards :)

People are still trying wax? I
thought Sheldon Brown put that myth to rest years ago...

Don't even start with the White
Lightning!

[OBRA Chat] Lube question





I have used Pedro's Ice wax for
yrs.  Love it because of cleanliness.  However...

I have become convinced with
recent long rides that it really isn't much of a lubricant!  Seems to
flake off (the clean thing) and chain is squeaky/dry by end of a 4/5 hr
ride.  When I go to dry areas like Arizona it is pretty un-lubing from
the get go!

 

What are people using that lasts,
protects, is good in wet, but doesn't get all black/gunky (like triflow
used to) and make a big greasy mess!

 

???

Thanks,

DC
