It's relatively inexpensive but has a fairly heavy-bodied wax carrier that can build up on cogs pretty fast if you are a "spray and go" guy like me. It also does not penetrate like a lighter oil. It is O.K., though. Nothing magical. It washes off in heavy rain like everything else. -- Jay Beattie. |

Elsewhere I have seen it noted that the blue can (Multi-Purpose Dry Film) and the yellow can (Chain Saver) are in fact the very same thing, just in different cans. The Blue can is the consumer-grade one and the yellow can is sold to industrial trades in bulk. Both the blue and the yellow are dry. There is one that says wet (the red can I guess) but wet lube on a bicycle chain is rather silly IMO. Also We Note: various web forums have found through testing that the DuPont stuff in the blue/yellow cans has been found to be basically identical to a lot of other higher-end motorcycle chain lubes that sell for a lot more money (though somebody in NZ said the blue cans do cost ~$33 US down there, so the DuPont stuff may not be exactly cheap everywhere). |

very early in my revived cycle use age, tried White Lightning on an SR
CR....disaster...mushroomed teeth on a 6 mile ride. LBS mechanics said, 15 yers ago, dry was for dirt and not street use-in bicycles not motocycles. Like MTB CR teeth are shaped cutting thru dirt, chipping out dry covered lube, leaving 99%. Have Pedro's 2.0, vastly better than WL, use it on hinges, steel coatings as lighter than linseed eg wheel hub lugs and nuts. There's a consumer movement in industrial supply....during eco downturns consumer buying eg toothpaste, TP, and deo remain fairly stable while industrial demand for the fluids they have stored in TANKS tanks....so a repackageing eg Loctite into Walmart saleable forms....keeps revenue up, molding resins outward bound. Dupont's flasks, I thought on resisting the temptation for impulse buying, repped the consumer trend without breaking new ground past Finish Line. Haven't tried Boing's Boing Sheild. Maybe too light for bicycle lube while as write here, Dupont maybe to heavy. FL's charm is penetration and then lube. reduces struggle ie friction. If the stuff doesn't go in loosen the garbage but lies on top well that's nto doing it. |

refining preceeding babble...with penetrant aboard, coexisitng with
lube...a miracle no ? continuous pre ride maintenance is effective without dissassembly, cleaning, reass....unnuck ! a penetrant/lube combo prolongs mechanism life and riding enjoyment. Yawl too young remeber DUPONT NO 7 ? was 7 ? I forgit. a miracle wac/ cleanser on flanks of Dad's ' 53 Buick rumor: new google groups will track all your movements and thoughts into a computer base located inside a ountain outside Scranton Pennsylvainia. |

Most people* will tell you that any benefits of a wet lube on an exposed bicycle drive chain are far outweighed by the disadvantage of the tremendous affinity to attract (and hold) road dirt. *-even DuPont, apparently? |
