It looks pricey, but molybdenum disulphide is a great, albeit messy dry lubricant. Yes, that looks like it could become the most expensive chain lube ever. Do they have real gold flakes in there? I can't imagine a can lasting more than 4-5 lubes. You could buy a new chain instead where the factory lube lasts like 2-3 normal lube intervals. Good Lord! A cyclist worrying about prices? Impossible! After all a TREK Madone SLR 9 Disc eTap starts at a mere $12,299,99.... But of course, that's a road bike and everyone knows that those who actually ride a bicycle on a public road are... well, a bit on the stupid side. Imagine, ignoring all those dangerous automobiles... In contrast, the mountain bikers, a sport that originated with a bunch of guys who rode old second, third, fourth hand, bikes that even the riders referred to as "Klunkers", can now rejoice in a brand new TREK Top Fuel 9.9 SL, for a paltry $9,299.99. And you want to ignore an almost magical product that markets for a mere $44.77 (plus shipping) ? cheers, John B. Just buy your moly powder in bulk and mix it in with the carrier of your choice (oil, wax, a fast evaporating solvent, or a mixture of the above) https://www.lowerfriction.com/produc...?categoryID=26 It doesn't seem to be quite as simple as the Dow stuff apparently goes on as a liquid and then hardens. According to the TDS it requires a two hour curing time which seems to imply something other then just Molybdenum Disulfide and a carrier. The Dow product contains Polybutyl Titanate which, from what I read, aids in forming an adhesive coating probably helps in causing the Moly to stick to the object being coated. cheers, John B. |
