Anyone plan on using this as a chain lube during the K100?
I've been using squirt lube for almost 2 years and it's held up great for dry xc rides upto 80miles and was still good for more, however it's not too good in the wet & mud and I doubt it would last the entire 100 miles if conditions are going to be wet with little chance of re-applying it as it has to dry first for it to work.
Guess I'll just have to check out the weather for the next few days 😕
Chain-L no5 is what you need
At about 50 miles around Newcastleton there's usually a mechinic post where can you get lubed up again.
finishline wet lube year round for me (seriously when is it ever dry enough in this country). Got someone at Newcastleton waiting with some of that dual lube and degreaser stuff in case its muddy
Rock 'n' Roll extreme for me
Pretty sure it'll last OK but I have a tiny bottle in my tool kit - if needed
I thought the tyre discussions were a bit excessive but lube? . . . 🙂
that would be the last stuff I'd use. It will be wet in places without a doubt, although the forecast looks OK for the coming days

Served me well for years in all sorts of shitty conditions
really uplink? I've never got on with any of those sorts of lubes, tried a few times and any sort of wetness seems to cause problems with them. Maybe I'm not degreasing well enough...
I've been running Squirt now for about 16 months...been very very reliable but it does need a reapply in proper wet and muddy conditions (but it is still lasting me at least 2 rides before a reapplication is needed) - admittedly they won't add up to 100 miles but I reckon if you get a good coating on it, then do another application the night before it should last.
Happily rode with Squirtblast year. Did reapply around 80 miles otherwise problem free
