I used much off c3 wet ceramic last winter and have gone off it mightily. It worked as a lube, but was the second filthiest chain lube I’ve ever had. Complete sod to clean off properly too, also drip from chain ate the amalgamating tape on my chainstay so no idea what it does to other stuff.
I wanted to go wax and tried the finish line. Not a fan. Very smelly solvent and not convinced I didn’t leave more wax in the bottle than got on the chain. Bottle kept getting blocked. Yes, it was very well shaken.
I’ve gone with White Lightening Clean Ride. Not stinky, works properly, can see in clear bottle that it’s mixed, doesn’t clog, chain stays clean and lubed. Lasts well. If I was going back to a non wax I like the Purple Extreme.
If only Juice lubes were more widely available in the North. The big distributors seem to have edged them out for larger brands.
exactly my thoughts on the C3 ceramic wet lube, its the gackiest/thickest/blackest/claggiest lube ive ever used (worse than finish line green!)
ive used purple extreme and its good in summer but found it didn’t last too well in the mud/wet longer rides
