HI
Been using rock n roll extreme lube for a while and quite like it. Need some more though and most places are out of stock at the moment. Heard people mention squirt on here. What are peoples thoughts? My cannondale slate does a 70/30 split of road then gravel but would like a lube that has some reasonable longevity,
Comments appreciated thankyou
Squint barely lasts a 3 hour ride.would like a lube that has some reasonable longevity,
What he says, RnR will last a weekend of wet west scotland riding if applied properly, Squirt will last the morning.

Smoove is similar to squirt, but much longer lasting I find.
Squirt for Summer, wet lube for winter.
I really rate squirt as a summer lube, everything remains nice and clean. Easy to apply. Its pretty hopeless in the winter here in the FOD mind.
Squirt is great in the summer, but it struggles once it gets really wet.
I've been using Rock n' Roll a fair bit this year and normally buy it from eBay.
I am also trying Smoove, it's a new product at similar cost to squirt but much longer lasting from my experience this far on both my mountain bike and cx bike. Definitely worth a try if you're considering other options.
Putoline wax.
I've had a crap summer for riding, but I can't remember when I actually last lubed a chain.
It's a faff, but it's only a faff once in a blue moon and takes about the same time as a cup of tea.

Neither, I'm a big fan of purple extreme.
I did not like Putoline at all. Messy, more of a faff to apply. Just wasn't for me. Understand people rave about it. Each to everyone's own
Put squirt on a clean chain the night before a ride, it will generally last five/six hours for me in all but the filthiest conditions. Put it on just before riding and the first puddle will remove most of it.

I watched Point Break for the first time the other day, couldn't get Dr Cox's put downs out of my head.
Aye, he's type cast from that now!
