Well, he says:
ZFC belief that Flower Power is much less set as a wax lubricant than most others – it definitely has a much more oily texture to touch, you get black fingers handling a Flower Power chain like you do handling a wet lubricant chain. But this type of wax – sunflower seed based, we appear to be getting the contamination resistance in dry dust like wax lubricants that set much drier vs Flower Power, but with the measurable level of flush cleaning that some wet lubricants have demonstrated.
So, it is almost like a best of both worlds – the main downside being that it simply is not as visually clean as the wax lubricants like Silca SS drip or UFO drip, and definitely not as clean to handle – if you get a rear puncture you are going to have messy black fingers. Still, messy black fingers beats the crap out of high wear rates of your components,
which is fair enough. For me personally being clean to touch was a bigger factor. Probably just being a big wuss. But I’d be interested to hear what folks real world UK experience is cos it’s certainly a good deal cheaper than UFO and less faff than Putoline ( kidding, tj, kidding !!)
