AMEN to that one brother, I did try it...mistake, may as well ride with a dry chain. No Dumode for me either.
I haven't been to BROL for a while, went there last week and the first post I read was someone bitc*@!# about someone's answer to his post. I'm pretty much done there, I may just visit every now and then. Definately no more donations though.

| Yeah, it's definitely bad, or otherwise attitude until otherwise checked, depending on your affiliation. Mark

| I tried BreakFree CLP a couple weeks ago. It seems to work well as a chainlube, but it's no cleaner than White Lightning. It looks like my chain is going to collect black icky stuff no matter what. |

I think it's the price we pay for living in the Sonoran Desert, garrybuck._________________ BluesCat ----->  2008 Sun EZ Sport CX - "Bluetiful", 2001 Giant Yukon SE - "The Roadley", 1986 Batavus Course - "DutchGrl"---------0 ---------\__^o\ ------(*)`"''"""(*) |

What's nasty about Tri-Flow? I'm not being argumentative here, I just don't know what you mean. Is it gummy, dirty, smelly....? |
It just gets dirty fast. Collects dirt. Probably my fault for not being religious enough in wiping down my chain. Certainly Tri-Flow is probably the most frugal chain lube.

Yeah, true. I, too, use Tri-Flow and it does tend to get dirty fast. Of course, like I said to garrybuck, dirt and grit in the Arizona desert is kinda like a "Duh!" fact of life. I have surreptitiously looked at some other's bicycle chains around here and have yet to see one cleaner than mine.
Gotta keep 'em clean and lubed, and Tri-Flow is cheap enough to spread on liberally afterwards!_________________ BluesCat -----> 2008 Sun EZ Sport CX - "Bluetiful", 2001 Giant Yukon SE - "The Roadley", 1986 Batavus Course - "DutchGrl"---------0 ---------\__^o\ ------(*)`"''"""(*) |
