A crappy attempt at product photography, but never mind that, what about the chain lube?
I normally use Muc-Off wet lube - the bottle has a long nozzle which helps getting into pivoty bits of derailleurs, it works well and smells like a brothel cat.
But I was on Wiggle the other day and I thought I'd give this a go, which I think is their own brand jobbie. This bottle thankfully also has the all important long nozzle, but it doesn't smell. It does look like Cherry Aid though, and if drunk would cure constipation no doubt. As a lube though it has been very good so far. It does string on application as you turn the pedals, but wiping off the excess with a rag sees the end of that. It's early days so far, just the two rides on Fatty so far, but they have seen a trip round the muddy woods, several runs through a ford and some flooded bits of road, as well as all the usual puddles and muddy lanes. Unlike the Muc-Off the chain has stayed pretty clean and clear of all the gunk that clings to it normally with the Muc-Off. The cassette is still looking remarkably clean and shiny too, and the lube doesn't appear to have washed off at all. So far then, it all seems pretty good and likely to be my new 'go to' lube.
