For a good laugh, spray your wood floor with "Bike Lust". Even the cat will
fall down. Brian

Good for the playground slide too.

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!

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
