Rock n Roll Lubes

I'm about to get a new bottle of winter chain lube. Was going to go with
Finish Line XC again, but have heard good things about Rock n Roll Extreme.

It works out about £1 more than finish line for equivalent volume, but I
will give it a go if there are advantages. Has anyone tried extreme? How
does it compare to Finish Line for UK winter conditions? I've heard its
meant to be less sticky and less attractive to muck.

On a related note, anyone tried Rock n Roll Cablemagic lube? Just hype?

Any comments appreciated!

I've found RnR chain lube great stuff, except in dirt or wet conditions ;^ 0

I can't even imagine that stuff working in the UK.

I'll never buy a bottle of that goop again.

It blows.

Ok thanks. So what do you use for winter running? Finish Line XC?

Cheers

Well, let me say first, I live in Southern California, so I almost never
have to ride in wet conditions. This is on reason why I hated RnR so much...
even the tiniest puddle of water seemed to wash that stuff right off.

But anyways, I've always used White Lightning, but just recently switched to
Prolink. I don't have enough time with the Prolink to base an opinion, but
preliminary report is good.

Well we're lucky enough to have conditions as dry as yours for about 4 weeks
per year! i do use a dry wax throughout the summer months, but needless to
say that's no good when the weather goes down hill, hence the need for
finish line etc. On the plus side, we have very few lions...

We could always export a few for you Brits to play with.

Hehehe...that was my impression of White Lightning. You mean there's
something worse?!! I remember when WL first came out and I was riding with
guys who said this was the "greatest stuff ever!"... Every time they pulled
the bottle out of their packs to re-apply it during a ride.

Mike - Pedro's Extra Dry.

I'm working on a bottle of Ice Wax right now and like the way it sheds
water and doesn't attract dirt. Oil based lubes shed water well enough but
act like a magnet for grit. Does Extra Dry have an advantage over Ice Wax ?

For wet, muddy conditions use Phil Oil. It is the best. Here in sunny
Southern California, as Slacker mentioned, we really don't have those
conditions at all, but when I lived in the Pacific NorthWet I swore by
Phil Oil.

The best ever wet and muddy (English conditions) lube, is well rendered
mutton dripping. It's also ideal for greasing crank tapers (what I used when
I fittedededed mine).
